The document discusses jQuery, a JavaScript library. It provides information on: - What jQuery is and its main functionality, including DOM scripting, Ajax, user interface effects, and form validation. - How to get started with jQuery, including downloading the file, adding it to a page via a script tag, and using common selectors like ID, class, and tag name to select elements. - Common jQuery methods for manipulating elements, like adding and removing classes, traversing the DOM, making GET/POST requests, and loading content via Ajax. - Ensuring the document is ready before running jQuery code by using the ready function. So in summary, the document provides an overview

2.  … write ASP.net Application?
 … write non-ASP.net Application like PHP?
 … write javascript?
 … write cascading style sheets (css)
 … enjoy writing javascript?
 … write lots of client side script?
 … Ajax?

4.  JavaScript Library
 Functionality
 DOM scripting & event handling
 Ajax
 User interface effects
 Form validation
 All for Rapid Web Development

5.  Powerful JavaScript library
 Simplify common JavaScript tasks
 Access parts of a page
▪ using CSS or XPath-like expressions
 Modify the appearance of a page
 Alter the content of a page
 Change the user’s interaction with a page
 Add animation to a page
 Provide AJAX support

6.  Lightweight – 32kb (Minified )
 Cross-browser support (IE 6.0+, FF 1.5+, Safari 2.0+, Opera 9.0+) jQuery rescues
us by working the same in all browsers!
 CSS-like syntax – easy for developers/non-developers to understand
 Intellisense for VS.
 Active developer community
 Extensible – Plugins
 Active Community
 Easier to write jQuery than pure JavaScript
 Microsoft has even elected to distribute jQuery with its Visual Studio tool, and
Nokia uses jQuery on all its phones that include their Web Runtime component.
 Compared with other toolkits that focus heavily on clever JavaScript techniques,
jQuery aims to change the way that web developers think about creating rich
functionality in their pages. Rather than spending time juggling the complexities
of advanced JavaScript, designers can leverage their existing knowledge of
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible
Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), and good old straightforward JavaScript
to manipulate page elements directly, making rapid development a reality.
 As jQuery tag line says “write less do more” 

John Resig is the Dean of Computer Science
at Khan Academy and the creator of
the jQuery JavaScript library.
He’s also the author of the
books Pro JavaScript Techniques and
Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja.
Currently, John is located in Boston, MA and
enjoys studying
Ukiyo-e (Japanese Woodblock Printing) in
his spare time.

8.  John Resig says “I was, originally, going to
use JSelect, but all the domain names were
taken already. I then did a search before I
decided to call the project jQuery”

9.  So now you know what is jQuery.
 So what’s next ?
 Are you curious and want to know how to get
started?
 Then Lets See……. 

10.  Getting Started

11.  Download the latest jQuery file from
 http://jquery.com/

12.  Copy the
jquery.js
and the
jquery-vsdoc.js
into your application
folder

13.  Locally
 <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.7.2.js" ></script>
 Using CDN
 Microsoft
 <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
 Google
 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/
1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
 Jquery
 <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>

14.  Download Faster (Performance)
 Caching
 What if the CDN is down? – Don’t worry there
is way 
 <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
 <script type="text/javascript">
if(typeof jQuery=='undefined')
document.write(unscape("%3Cscript src='jQuery.js' type='text/javascript'%3E
%3C/script%3E"));
</script>

16.  $() function or jQuery()
 Ready Function
 $(document).ready() – use to detect when a page has
loaded and is ready to use
 Object Wrapper $(document)
 Call Inline or Named Function – Your choice

17.  - by Tag Name
 - by ID
 - by Class Name
 - by Attribute Value
 - Input Nodes

18.  <div id="UserAreaDiv">
<span class="BoldText"> Nasim Ahmad </span>
</div>
Selector Syntax
 $(selectorExpression)
 jQuery(selectorExpression)
 Selectors allow Page elements to be selected
 Single or multiple elements are supported
 Selector identifies an HTML element/tag that will
be manipulated wit jQuery Code

19.  Very compact than longer “getElementById”
 And its easy
$('div') selects all <div> elements
$('a') selects all <a> elements
$('p') selects all <p> elements

20.  To reference multiple tags use the , character
to separate the elements.
$('div,span,p,a')
this will select all div, span, paragraph and
anchors elements

21.  $('ancestor descendant') selects all descendants of the
ancestor.
$('table tr')
Selects all tr elements that are descendants of the table
element
 Descendants are children, grandchildren etc of the
designated ancestor element

22. Selecting by Element ID
 Use the # character to select elements by ID:
$('#divId')
selects <div id="divId"> element

23. Selecting Elements by Class Name
 Use the . character to select elements by class name
$('.myClass')
selects <div class="myClass"> element

24. Selecting By Attribute Value
 Use brackets [attribute] to select based on attribute name
and/or attribute value
$('a[title]')
selects all <a> elements that have title attribute
$('a[title="BDotnet UG Link"]')
selects all anchor element which has a "BDotnet UG Link"
title attribute value

25. Selecting Input Elements
 $(':input') selects all input elements :
input,select,textarea,button,image,radio ,
etc.. & more
$(':input[type="radio"]')

26. Modify CSS Classes
 Four methods for working with CSS Class
attributes are:
 .addClass()
 .hasClass()
 .removeClass()
 .toggleClass()

27. Adding a CSS Classes
 .addClass() adds one or more class names to the class
attribute of each matched element
$('div').addClass('MyClass')
 More than one Class
$('div').addClass('RedClass BlueClass')

28. Matching CSS Classes
 .hasClass() returns true if the selected element has a
matching class.
if($('p').hasClass('style')){
//Put your code
}

29. Removing CSS Classes
 .removeClass() can remove one or more classes
$('div').removeClass('RedClass BlueClass')
 Remove all class attributes for the matching selector
$('div').removeClass()

30. Toggle CSS Classes
 .toggleClass() alternates adding or removing a class based
on the current presented or absented of the class
$('#UserInfo').toggleClass('setBackgroundColor')
<style>
.setBackgroundColor{background:blue;}
</style>

31.  each(fn) traverses every selected
element calling fn()
var sum = 0;
$(“div.number”).each(
function(){
sum += (+this.innerHTML);
});

32. // select > append to the end
$(“h1”).append(“<li>Hello $!</li>”);
// select > append to the beginning
$(“ul”).prepend(“<li>Hello $!</li>”);
// create > append/prepend to selector
$(“<li/>”).html(“9”).appendTo(“ul”);
$(“<li/>”).html(“1”).prependTo(“ul”);

33.  $(“h3”).each(function(){
$(this).replaceWith(“<div>”
+ $(this).html()
+ ”</div>”);
});

34.  // remove all children
$(“#DivId”).empty();
// remove all children
$(“#DivId”).empty();

35.  // get window height
var sWinHeight = $(window).height()
 //set element height
$('#mainId').height(sWinHeight)
 .width() - element
 .innerWidth() - .width()+padding
 .outerWidth() - .innerWidth()+border
 .outerWidth(true) - include margin

36. When DOM is ready
$(document).ready(function(){
// Write your Code
});
 It fires when the document is ready for Programming
 It uses advanced listeners for detecting
 window.onload() is a fallback.

37. Loading Content
$("div").load("ContentPage.html");
 Pass Parameters
$("div").load("getData.aspx“,{"Catid":"10"});

38. GET/POST Requests
$.get("getData.aspx",{Catid:10},
function(data){
//write your code
}
)
$.post("getData.aspx",{Catid:10},
function(data){
//write your code
}
)

39. Retrieving JSON Data
$.getJSON("getData.aspx",{CatId:10},
function(categories){
//alert(categories[0].Name);
})
