Study Notes

jQuery

jQuery makes finding DOM elements easy with functions like parents(), find(), siblings(), and addClass()
first(), last(), next(), and prev() are helpful for finding specific elements within a collection
jQuery's css() method makes styling elements simple
JavaScript animations can be created with the animate() method, combining events and css() syntax
The ajax() object in jQuery offers a versatile API for making GET or POST requests, with options for handling JSON, HTML, XML, or scripts
ajax() provides callbacks like error(), success(), and complete() for managing response handling
getJSON() is useful for parsing JSON data, taking a URL and an execution function as arguments

DOM Manipulation

Element nodes are accessed differently based on their type
The getElementById() method uses an element's unique ID, while getElementsByTagName() and getElementsByClassName() return NodeLists (collections of nodes)

Attributes and Text Nodes

Attributes can be manipulated with methods like hasAttribute(), getAttribute(), setAttribute(), and removeAttribute()
The innerHTML property is faster for replacing large amounts of text within a DOM node than individual node manipulation

Navigating the DOM

parentNode, firstChild, lastChild, previousSibling, and nextSibling allow navigation between DOM nodes
Dynamic DOM manipulation is possible with methods like createElement(), createTextNode(), appendChild(), and removeChild()

Data Storage

JavaScript provides methods for storing data internally (variables, arrays, objects) or externally (database, API)
Client-side storage options include browser cache, cookies, and HTML5 localStorage/sessionStorage

Events

Event-driven JavaScript executes code when an event occurs, such as a page load or user interaction
Event handlers attach a single function to a specific DOM event (e.g., onclick, onsubmit)
Event listeners allow multiple functions to be attached to the same event using addEventListener()

Event Handling

addEventListener() takes three arguments: event type, function, and a boolean capture value (usually false)
Callbacks are used to pass arguments to functions when using addEventListener()
Events can be detached using removeEventListener() with the same arguments as addEventListener()
An element's clickability can be tested by disabling CSS/JavaScript and seeing if clicking it triggers any actions
Pressing Enter/Return when navigating through an interface can also indicate clickability

Common Event Types

Common event types include:
- Load
- Click
- Dblclick
- Mousedown
- Mousemove
- Mouseout
- Mouseover
- Mouseup
- Keydown
- Keypress
- Keyup
- Blur
- Focus
- Submit
- Touchstart
- Touchend
- Touchmove
- Touchcancel
- Orientationchange
- Gesturestart
- Gestureend
- Gesturechange

Focus and Blur Events

Focus and blur events are commonly used for forms and links
Focusable elements include links and form input fields

Context Highlighting

Changing background color can effectively highlight specific areas of a form, such as when a search field is focused

Change Event

In radio buttons and checkboxes, the change event fires when the selection is toggled
In select menus, the change event triggers when a new option is selected, either through clicking or keyboard navigation

Mouseover and Mouseout

The mouseover event occurs when a mouse cursor hovers over an element, while mouseout triggers when the cursor leaves
These events can be used together to create hover effects

Preventing Default Behavior

Events often have default behaviors associated with them, e.g., form submission
To prevent default behavior, the event object is passed as an argument to the method and preventDefault(), stopPropagation(), or stopImmediatePropagation() are used

JavaScript & HTML

JavaScript is a scripting language used to create interactive websites.
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and is used to create the structure of web pages.
JavaScript is often used in conjunction with HTML.

Address Book Example

An Address Book Example is presented, demonstrating searching and filtering contacts.
The Example uses JavaScript to add functionality to the address book.
The Example features the getAttributes() method to retrieve attributes from an HTML element.
The Example employs the removeAttribute() method to remove attributes from an HTML element.
The Example uses the innerHTML attribute of an HTML element to insert text into an HTML element.
The Example leverages the indexOf() method to search for a substring within a string.
The Example makes use of the addEventListener() method to attach event listeners to HTML elements.
The Example showcases how to add and remove classes from HTML elements.
The Example implements a search function that filters contacts based on a search term.

JavaScript Libraries and Frameworks

JavaScript Libraries provide reusable code often for cross-browser compatibility or extended functionality.
jQuery (jquery.com) is a widely used JavaScript library.
jQuery has a ready() method that is bound to the document and takes a single argument for attaching JavaScript code to the HTML document.
jQuery uses the $() sign in selectors and allows for chaining multiple methods to manipulate the DOM.
jQuery leverages the Sizzle selector engine for selecting HTML elements using CSS syntax.
YUI (yuilibrary.com) is another free and open-source JavaScript and CSS framework for large web applications.

Plug-ins

Plug-ins extend the functionality of JavaScript libraries.
Plug-ins can be created using JavaScript and added to libraries.

HTML5 JavaScript APIs

HTML5 introduced new JavaScript APIs for various functionalities:
- Geolocation for obtaining user location information.
- Media Embedding for integrating audio and video elements into webpages.
- Server Communication for interaction with web servers.

Geolocation

The Navigator Object in JavaScript provides information about the user's browser and system, including the geolocation property.
The getCurrentPosition() method in navigator.geolocation returns information about the user's location.
Geolocation involves retrieving the user's IP address, processing it on a server, and outputting the user's general location.
Geolocation Data includes latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, heading, and speed.
Geolocation is often used for location-based services like advertisement delivery and proximity-based alerts.
Geosecurity safeguards user privacy with a permissions system to request permission for accessing location data.

Audio and Video

HTML5 provides and elements for embedding audio and video content into web pages.
The Audio Element enables playback of audio files with standard attributes like play, pause, volume, and currentTime.
The Video Element allows for similar functionalities as the audio element, but also provides controls for playback speed, video quality, and full-screen mode.
Customization enables developers to create custom controls for audio and video elements, including play/pause, volume control, and progress bars.

JavaScript Tools

JavaScript includes built-in tools for development:
- Console for outputting debugging messages, monitoring errors, and interacting with Ajax.
JavaScript Libraries provide additional tools for development:
- jQuery provides methods for manipulating the DOM, including the each() method for looping through data and the addClass() method for adding classes to elements.
The jQuery each() method can be slow, and it is recommended to use native JavaScript loops for better performance.

DOM & Performance

The DOM (Document Object Model) is a tree-like representation of the structure of an HTML document.
Nodes in the DOM represent HTML elements, text, and attributes.
Performance is a key consideration when working with JavaScript and the DOM, as manipulating the DOM can be computationally expensive.
Methods for traveling through the DOM:
- parent(): Retrieves the immediate parent node of an element.
- children(): Retrieves the immediate children of an element.
- closest(): Finds the nearest ancestor element that matches a given selector.
- find(): Searches for descendant elements matching a given selector.
Performance Optimization: Using native JavaScript loops instead of jQuery's each() method, and minimizing DOM manipulation can improve performance.

Deep Dive JavaScript

JavaScript operates within a browser environment, where it interacts with the DOM and executes code.
The DOM is a crucial aspect of JavaScript interaction with the browser.
The DOM starts with the browser, then renders the HTML into a document, creating a tree-like structure (nodes) representing the elements, text, and attributes of the document.
