Study Notes
jQuery Event Methods
- jQuery selects HTML elements and performs actions on them.
- jQuery syntax is specially designed for selecting HTML elements and performing actions.
- The
$(document).ready()
function ensures all jQuery code runs after the HTML document is fully loaded.
jQuery Selectors
- The
$(selector)
syntax targets specific HTML elements using various selectors:-
$("#id")
: Targets an element with the specified ID. -
$(".class")
: Targets all elements with the given class. -
$("element")
: Targets all elements of the specified type (e.g.,$("p")
targets all paragraphs). -
$("*")
: Targets all elements on the page.
-
jQuery Events
- Events represent actions that occur within a webpage, triggered by user interaction or system events.
- jQuery provides methods for handling these events, simplifying event management.
- Event handling allows webpage responsiveness to user actions.
Common jQuery Event Methods
-
click()
: Executes a function when an element is clicked. -
dblclick()
: Executes a function when an element is double-clicked. -
mouseenter()
: Executes a function when the mouse pointer enters an element. -
mouseleave()
: Executes a function when the mouse pointer leaves an element. -
mousedown()
: Executes a function when a mouse button is pressed down while the mouse is over an element. -
mouseup()
: Executes a function when a mouse button is released while the mouse is over an element. -
hover()
: Combinesmouseenter()
andmouseleave()
, allowing for actions when the mouse enters or leaves an element.
Keyboard Event Methods
- Keyboard events represent actions related to keyboard keys.
-
event.which
: A property within keyboard events that identifies the specific key pressed (e.g.event.which == 13
indicates the Enter key). -
keydown()
: Executes a function when a keyboard key is pressed down. -
keyup()
: Executes a function when a keyboard key is released. -
keypress()
: Executes a function when a key is pressed down. (Note: Not triggered for all keys, such as control keys.)
Basic jQuery syntax
- Selects HTML elements and performs actions on them.
jQuery Selectors
- Selectors are used to identify HTML elements in a webpage.
- Common selectors:
-
#id
: Selects by ID. -
.class
: Selects elements with the given class. -
element
: Selects elements of a given type.
-
Common jQuery Events:
- Click: User clicks on an element.
- Double Click: User double-clicks on an element.
- Mouse Enter: User moves mouse over an element.
- Mouse Leave: User moves mouse away from an element.
- Mouse Down: User presses mouse button while over an element.
- Mouse Up: User releases mouse button while over an element.
- Hover: A combination of mouseenter() and mouseleave().
- Keydown: User presses a keyboard key.
- Keyup: User releases a keyboard key.
- Keypress: User presses a key, but not all keys (e.g. ALT, CTRL, SHIFT).
jQuery Event Method Syntax:
- Event methods are used to add functionality when events occur.
- General syntax:
-
$(selector).eventMethod(function(){ //code to execute })
-
$(selector)
: Selects the element(s). -
eventMethod
: The specific event to listen for. -
function(){ //code to execute }
: The code to run when the event is triggered.
-
Document Ready Event:
-
$(document).ready(function() { // code to execute });
- Ensures jQuery code runs after the full HTML document is loaded.
- Best practice to use this for all jQuery operations.
Click Method:
-
$(selector).click(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when an element is clicked.
Double Click Method:
-
$(selector).dblclick(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when an element is double-clicked.
Mouse Enter Method:
-
$(selector).mouseenter(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when the mouse enters an element.
Mouse Leave Method:
-
$(selector).mouseleave(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when the mouse leaves an element.
Mouse Down Method:
-
$(selector).mousedown(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when a mouse button is pressed while over an element.
Mouse Up Method:
-
$(selector).mouseup(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when a mouse button is released while over an element.
Hover Method:
-
$(selector).hover(function(){ // code to execute on mouseenter }, function(){ // code to execute on mouseleave });
- Executes different code when the mouse enters and leaves an element.
Keyboard Event Methods:
-
event.which
: Returns which keyboard key or mouse button was pressed.
Key Down Method
-
$(selector).keydown(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when a key is pressed down.
Key Up Method
-
$(selector).keyup(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when a key is released.
Key Press Method
-
$(selector).keypress(function(){ // code to execute });
- Executes code when a key is pressed, but not for all keys (e.g., ALT, CTRL, SHIFT).
- Use keydown() to handle these cases.

- click()
- dblclick()
- mouseenter()
