What is jQuery? jQuery is a JavaScript Library! Dealing with the DOM (e.g. selecting, creating, traversing, changing, etc.) JavaScript Events Animations Ajax interactions

if (browserType == "ie") document.poppedLayer = eval('document.getElementById("HiddenDIV")'); else document.poppedLayer = eval('document.layers["HiddenDIV"]'); document.poppedLayer.style.visibility = "visible"; It means no more of this…

jQuery Plugins There are over 2200 plugins Plugins extend jQuery’s functionality If you can’t find the functionality in a plugin, make your own! You can make a jQuery Plugin in six steps

Step 1. create a private scope for $ alias <!DOCTYPE html><html><body> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> (function($){ })(jQuery); </script></body></html> A jQuery plugin in 6 steps

Step 2. attach plugin to fn alias <!DOCTYPE html><html><body> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> (function($){ $.fn.loveNotHate = function(){ $(this).text($(this).text().replace(/hate/g,'love')); }; })(jQuery); </script></body></html> A jQuery plugin in 6 steps

Step 2. attach plugin to fn alias <!DOCTYPE html><html><body> <p>I hate jQuery!</p> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> (function($){ $.fn.loveNotHate = function(){ $(this).text($(this).text().replace(/hate/g,'love')); }; })(jQuery); jQuery('p').loveNotHate(); </script></body></html> A jQuery plugin in 6 steps

Step 3. add implicit iteration <!DOCTYPE html><html><body> <p>I hate jQuery!</p> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> (function($){ $.fn.loveNotHate = function(){ this.each(function(){ $(this).text($(this).text().replace(/hate/g,'love')); }); }; })(jQuery); jQuery('p').loveNotHate(); </script></body></html> A jQuery plugin in 6 steps
