What Is jQuery?

• • A fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript


library.
• • Simplifies tasks like DOM manipulation,
event handling, AJAX requests, and
animations.
• • Created by John Resig in 2006.
Why Use jQuery?

• 1. Ease of Use: Simple syntax and fewer lines


of code.
• 2. Cross-Browser Compatibility: Works
consistently across major browsers.
• 3. Rich Ecosystem: Thousands of plugins
available.
• 4. Open Source: Free and supported by a large
community.
Core Features of jQuery

• 1. DOM Manipulation: Select and modify HTML

• <script src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-
3.6.0.min.js'></script>
• • Download and Host Locally: Download the
jQuery file from the official website.
Basic jQuery Syntax

• General Structure:
• $(selector).action();

• • $: Symbol for accessing jQuery.


• • Selector: HTML element to target.
• • Action: What jQuery should do (e.g., hide, show, change text).

• Example:
• $('p').hide(); // Hides all paragraphs
jQuery Selectors

• • Advanced Selectors:
• - $('div:first') - First DIV element
• - $('input:checked') - Checked input elements
DOM Manipulation Theory

• • Definition: DOM (Document Object Model) is


the structured representation of a web page.
• • Why Use It: Allows dynamic changes to HTML
and CSS.

• Example:
• $('#content').html('<b>Welcome!</b>');
DOM Manipulation Methods

• • html() - Change inner HTML.


• • text() - Change text content.
• • attr() - Change attributes.
• • val() - Get or set form values.
Event Handling Theory

• • What Is It?: Events are user interactions like clicks,


hovers, and key presses.
• • How jQuery Helps: Simplifies attaching events to
elements.

• Example:
• $('#button').click(function() {
• alert('Button Clicked!');
• });
Common jQuery Events

• • click() - On click events


• • hover() - Mouse hover
• • keyup() - Key release
• • submit() - Form submission
AJAX Theory

• • Definition: AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technique for loading


data from servers without refreshing the page.
• • Why Use It: Improves user experience by making web pages dynamic.

• Example:
• $.ajax({
• url: 'data.json',
• method: 'GET',
• success: function(response) {
• $('#result').html(response);
• }
• });
AJAX Methods

• • $.get() - HTTP GET requests


• • $.post() - HTTP POST requests
• • $.ajax() - Full AJAX control
Animations & Effects Theory

• • What Is It?: Animation involves adding


dynamic effects to elements.
• • How jQuery Helps: Provides built-in functions
for animations like fading, sliding, and
toggling.

• Example:
• $('#box').fadeOut('slow');
Animation Functions

• • fadeIn() - Show elements with fading effect.


• • fadeOut() - Hide elements with fading effect.
• • slideUp() - Slide elements upward.
• • slideDown() - Slide elements downward.
jQuery Plugins

• • Definition: Pre-built extensions for adding


features.
• • Example Plugins:
• - jQuery UI: Advanced UI components.
• - jQuery Validation: Form validation.
Browser Compatibility

• • Works with most major browsers:


• - Google Chrome
• - Mozilla Firefox
• - Safari
• - Microsoft Edge
• • Ensures consistent behavior across browsers.
Best Practices with jQuery

• • Minimize the use of animations for better
performance.
• • Use plugins carefully to avoid conflicts.
• • Consider alternative frameworks for larger
projects.
Is jQuery Still Relevant?

• • Current Use:
• - Still used in many websites and legacy projects.
• - Ideal for beginners learning web development.

• • Alternatives:
• - Modern libraries: React, Vue.js, Angular.
• - Vanilla JavaScript for lightweight projects.
Common Mistakes with
jQuery

• • Forgetting the '$' symbol.


• • Incorrectly linking the jQuery library.
• • Missing document ready function:

frameworks like React and Angular.
• 3. Learning Curve:Advanced features require deeper
knowledge.
• 4. Performance Issues: Slower than pure JavaScript for
large-scale projects.
• 5. Dependency Risk: Relying too much on plugins can
cause compatibility issues.
