Study Notes

DOM Events

DOM events are actions that occur in a web page, such as clicking a button, loading a page, or resizing a window.

jQuery Event Methods

Many DOM events have equivalent jQuery methods.
jQuery syntax for attaching event handlers uses the .on() method.
The .on() method replaces the older .bind(), .live(), and .delegate() methods, simplifying jQuery event handling.

Focus and Blur Events

The focus() method triggers the focus event, which occurs when an element receives focus, like when it is clicked or navigated to using the tab key.
The blur() method triggers the blur event, which occurs when an element loses focus.
focus() and blur() are often used together to handle actions when an element gains or loses user input focus.

Submit Event

The submit() method triggers the submit event, which occurs when a form is submitted.
The submit() method is only applicable to <form> elements.

Change Event

The change() method triggers the change event, which occurs when the value of an input element changes – this applies to <input>, <select>, and <textarea> elements.
For <select> elements (dropdowns), the change event is triggered when an option is selected.

Resize Event

The resize() method triggers the resize event, which occurs when the browser window changes size.

Scroll Event

The scroll() method triggers the scroll event, which occurs when the user scrolls within a scrollable element, including the browser window itself.

Load Event

The load() method used to attach an event handler to the load event.
It was deprecated in jQuery 1.8 and removed in jQuery 3.0 in favor of .on("load", handler) or .trigger("load").
The load event occurs when a specified element has been loaded, such as images, scripts, frames, iframes, and the window object.

Unload Event

The unload() method used to specify what happens when the unload event occurs.
It was deprecated in jQuery 1.8 and removed in jQuery 3.0 in favor of .on("unload", handler) or .trigger("unload").
The unload event is triggered when the user leaves the page, which can occur in several ways, like clicking a link, typing a new URL, using the forward or back buttons, closing the browser window, or reloading the page.
The unload() method should only be used for the window object and may function differently in various browsers.

jQuery Event Handling Summary

jQuery methods provide convenient ways to manage DOM events in web pages.
The on() method is the preferred approach for attaching event handlers in modern jQuery versions.
Understanding the behavior of common DOM events and their equivalent jQuery methods is crucial for interactive web development.

jQuery Event Methods

The .focus() method triggers the focus event, which occurs when an element gains focus, either by being clicked or by navigating to it using the tab key. This method allows for attaching a function to be executed when the focus event is triggered.
The .blur() method triggers the blur event, which occurs when an element loses focus. Similar to .focus(), it enables attaching a function to be executed when the blur event is triggered.
The .submit() method triggers the submit event, which occurs when a form is submitted. This event is exclusively available for form elements. It allows attaching a function to execute upon form submission.
The .change() method triggers the change event, which occurs when the value of an element changes. This event is particularly relevant for input, textarea, and select elements. It enables attaching a function to execute upon the value change of these elements.
The .resize() method triggers the resize event, which occurs when the browser window changes size. This method provides a way to attach a function that will be executed whenever the browser window resizes.
The .scroll() method triggers the scroll event, which occurs when the user scrolls the specified element. This event works for all scrollable elements and the window object (representing the entire browser window). It allows attaching a function to execute upon scrolling.

DOM Events

The .load() method attaches an event handler to the load event which occurs when a specified resource like an image, script, or frame has finished loading. It is commonly used with img, script, iframe, and window objects.
The .unload() method specifies what happens when a unload event occurs. This event is triggered when a user navigates away from the current page, either by clicking a link, entering a new URL, using the forward or back buttons, closing the browser window, or reloading the page. The .unload() method is typically used for actions like saving data or clearing up resources before the user leaves the page.
The .on() method is a versatile function that allows attaching one or more event handlers for selected elements and their child elements. It acts as a replacement for the older .bind(), .live(), and .delegate() methods, offering a unified approach to managing event handlers. Importantly, event handlers attached using .on() will work for both current and future elements, making it suitable for dynamically generated content. The .off() method is used to remove event handlers previously attached with .on(). The .one() method is used to attach an event handler that executes only once and then is removed.

jQuery Event Methods

Most DOM events have an equivalent jQuery method.
To assign a click event to all paragraphs on a page, use $("p").click(function(){});.

focus() Method

The focus event occurs when an element receives focus, usually through a mouse click or tab navigation.
The focus() method either triggers the focus event or attaches a function to execute when the focus event occurs.
Commonly used in conjunction with the blur() method.

blur() Method

The blur event occurs when an element loses focus.
The blur() method either triggers the blur event or attaches a function that executes when the blur event occurs.
Commonly used in conjunction with the focus() method.

submit() Method

The submit event occurs when a form is submitted.
The submit() method either triggers the submit event or attaches a function that executes when the submit event occurs.

change() Method

The change event occurs when the value of an element is modified. It applies to input fields (<input>, <textarea>, and <select> elements).
The change() method either triggers the change event or attaches a function that executes when the change event occurs.
For select menus, the change event triggers when an option is selected.

resize() Method

The resize event occurs when the browser window changes size.
The resize() method either triggers the resize event or attaches a function that executes when the resize event occurs.

scroll() Method

The scroll event occurs when a user scrolls within the specified element.
This event works for all scrollable elements, including the browser window.
The scroll() method either triggers the scroll event or attaches a function that executes when the scroll event occurs.

on() Method

The on() method is used to attach one or more event handlers to selected elements and their child elements.
As of jQuery version 1.7, on() replaces the bind(), live(), and delegate() methods.
Event handlers attached using the on() method work for both current and future elements (like elements created by a script).
To remove event handlers, use the off() method.
To attach an event that only runs once then automatically removes itself, use the one() method.

load() Method

The load() method has been deprecated since jQuery version 1.8 and removed in version 3.0. Use the on() or trigger() methods instead.
The load() method attached an event handler to the load event, which occurs when a specified element has been loaded.
This method worked with elements linked to a URL (like images, scripts, frames, iframes), and the window object.

unload() Method

The unload() method has been deprecated since jQuery version 1.8 and removed in version 3.0. Use the on() or trigger() methods instead.
The unload event occurs when the user navigates away from the page (e.g., clicking a link, entering a new URL, using the forward/back buttons, closing the browser window, or reloading the page).
The unload() method specifies actions that should be taken when the unload event occurs. It should only be used with the window object. It's recommended to test the unload method in all browsers before using it, as its behavior can vary.
