Study Notes

jQuery Syntax

jQuery selects HTML elements and performs actions on them
The syntax is designed for selecting elements and performing actions

jQuery Selectors

One of the most important parts of the library
They allow you to select and manipulate HTML elements
Used to find (select) HTML elements based on name, id, classes, types, attributes, and values
Based on CSS selectors, and also has its own custom selectors
All start with the dollar sign and parentheses: $()

The Element Selector

Selects elements based on the element name
Can select all elements on the page with $("*")

The #id Selector

Uses the id attribute of an HTML tag
An id should be unique within a page
Use for finding a single, unique element
To find an element with a specific id - write a hash character followed by the id: $("#id")

The .class Selector

Finds elements with a specific class
To find elements with a specific class - write a period character followed by the class name $(".class")

jQuery Events

Actions that a web page can respond to
Represent the precise moment when something happens

DOM Events

Click
Dblclick
Mouseover
Mouseout
Keypress
Keydown
Keyup

jQuery Syntax for Event Methods

jQuery has equivalent methods for most DOM events
To assign a click event to all paragraphs on a page - $("p").click(function(){});
To define what should happen when an event fires - pass a function to the event
$("p").click(function(){ // code executed when event fires });

$(document).ready()

The document ready event prevents jQuery code from running before the document is finished loading
It is good practice to wait for the document to be fully loaded and ready before working with it
Allows for your JavaScript code to be in the head section of the document
$(document).ready(function(){ //code executed when document is ready });

click()

Attaches an event handler function to an HTML element
The function is executed when the user clicks on the HTML element
$("p").click(function(){ //code executed when p is clicked });

dblclick()

Attaches an event handler function to an HTML element
The function is executed when the user double-clicks on the HTML element
$("p").dblclick(function(){ //code executed when p is double clicked });

hover()

Takes two functions and is a combination of mouseenter() and mouseleave() methods
The first function is executed when the mouse enters the HTML element
The second function is executed when the mouse leaves the HTML element
$("p").hover(function(){ //code executed when mouse enters p }, function(){ //code executed when mouse leaves p });

jQuery Basics

jQuery is a JavaScript library designed for simplifying web development tasks, specifically for making interactions with HTML elements easier.
jQuery uses a syntax built specifically for selecting elements and performing actions.
The heart of jQuery is the power of its selectors, allowing for efficient targeting of specific HTML elements.

Understanding jQuery Selectors

jQuery selectors are inspired by CSS selectors, but jQuery adds its own functionalities.
All jQuery selectors begin with the dollar sign ($) followed by parentheses: $().

The Element Selector

Targets elements based on their tag name, such as , <div>, <input>, etc.
Example: $("p") selects all
elements on the page.

The #id Selector

Targets a specific element based on its unique id attribute.
Example: $("#myID") selects the element with the id="myID".

The .class Selector

Targets elements based on a specific class name.
Example: .("myClass") selects all elements with the class="myClass".

More jQuery Selectors

Several other jQuery selectors are available:
- $("*"): Selects all elements on the page.
- $(".class1, .class2"): Selects elements with either class class1 or class2.
- $("p:first"): Selects the first
  element on the page.
- $("input[type='text']"): Selects all input elements with type="text".

jQuery Events

Events represent actions a user can perform on a webpage, like clicking, hovering, or double-clicking.
jQuery provides methods to handle these events.

DOM Events

The core events associated with the Document Object Model (DOM), which represents the structure of a webpage. Popular examples include:
- click
- dblclick
- mouseover/mouseout
- mousemove
- mousedown/mouseup
- keydown/keyup

jQuery Syntax for Event Methods

jQuery offers an equivalent method for most DOM events.
To add an event handler, use a combination of the jQuery selector and the event method. For example, to listen for a click on all paragraphs: $("p").click(function(){ });
Inside the parentheses, a function is defined to specify what should happen when the event fires.

jQuery Methods: `$(document).ready()`, `click()`, `dblclick()`, `hover()`

$(document).ready(): Ensures that jQuery code executes only after the entire HTML document is loaded and ready to interact with. This avoids potential errors from accessing elements that haven't fully loaded.
click(): Handles the event of a user clicking on an element.
dblclick(): Handles a double-click event.
hover(): Combines mouseenter() and mouseleave() into a single method. The first function executes when the mouse enters the element, and the second when the mouse leaves.

jQuery Basics

jQuery selects and manipulates HTML elements using a syntax tailored for this purpose.
jQuery selectors are based on existing CSS Selectors, with added custom selectors.
All jQuery selectors begin with $()

Element Selector

Selects elements based on their tag name.
Example: $("p1") will select all elements with the tag name "p1".

ID Selector

Uses the id attribute of an HTML tag to select a unique element.
Example: $("#p1") will select the element with the id "p1".

Class Selector

Selects elements based on their class attribute.
Example: $(".ps") will select all elements with the class name "ps".

jQuery Events

Events represent actions or occurrences that a webpage can respond to, such as user interactions.

jQuery Event Methods

Provide a way to attach event handlers to HTML elements.
Event handlers are functions that execute when the corresponding event occurs.
Example: $(document).ready() ensures that jQuery code runs only after the document has finished loading.
Example: $("p").click() executes a function when a user clicks on a paragraph element ().

Additional Event Methods

dblclick(): Executes a function when a user double-clicks on an element.
hover(): Executes two functions, one when the mouse enters an element and another when it leaves.

jQuery Basics

jQuery is used to interact with HTML elements.
The syntax format uses the dollar sign and parentheses: $().

jQuery Selectors

Selectors are used to target HTML elements based on their attributes.
jQuery expands on CSS selectors with its own custom options.

Element Selector

Selects elements based on their name, e.g. .
Example: $("p") selects all  elements on the page.

ID Selector

Uses the id attribute of an HTML tag to select a unique element.
Example: $("#p1") selects the element with the id="p1".

Class Selector

Targets elements with a specific class attribute.
Example: $(".ps") selects all elements with the class ps.

jQuery Events

Represent actions that website visitors can perform, e.g. clicking, hovering.
DOM (Document Object Model) events are used to represent these actions.

jQuery Event Methods

jQuery offers methods for handling DOM events.
Example: $(document).ready() is used to ensure jQuery code runs after the page is fully loaded.

click() Method

Attaches a function to an HTML element.
The function executes when the element is clicked.

dblclick() Method

Attaches a function to an HTML element.
The function executes when the element is double-clicked.

hover() Method

Combines mouseenter() and mouseleave() functions.
The first function executes when the mouse enters the element, the second when the mouse leaves.

### jQuery Syntax

jQuery syntax is used to query (select) HTML elements and perform actions on them.
The dollar sign ($) followed by parenthesis is used to select elements.

jQuery Selectors

jQuery selectors are used to select HTML elements based on their IDs, classes, types, attributes, and values.
The syntax utilizes existing CSS selectors and adds custom ones.

Element Selector

The element selector selects all elements of a specified type.
Example: $("p") selects all paragraph elements.

ID Selector

The ID selector selects a single HTML element based on its unique ID.
Syntax: $("#elementId")
Example: $("#myParagraph") selects the element with the ID "myParagraph".

Class Selector

The class selector selects all elements with a specific class.
Syntax: $(".className")
Example: $(".special") selects all elements with the class "special".

More jQuery Selectors

jQuery has numerous selectors, including:
- Attribute selectors: Select elements based on attribute values.
- Child selectors: Select elements based on their parent/child relationships within the HTML structure.
- Sibling selectors: Select elements based on their sibling relationships.

jQuery Events

Events represent actions that can be triggered on a web page.
Examples: click, mouseover, keypress.
DOM events are the foundational events that are used by jQuery.

jQuery Event Methods

jQuery provides methods that allow you to handle DOM events.
Example: click() method attaches a function to an HTML element that is executed when the element is clicked.
The $(document).ready() method ensures that jQuery code executes only after the HTML document is completely loaded.

click() method

The click() method attaches a function to an HTML element that's executed when the element is clicked.
Example: $("#myButton").click(function() { // code to execute when the element is clicked });

dblclick() method

The dblclick() method attaches a function to an HTML element that is executed when the element is double-clicked.
Example: $("#myParagraph").dblclick(function() { // code to execute when the element is double-clicked });

hover() method

The hover() method takes two functions: one for the 'mouseenter' event and another for the 'mouseleave' event.
Example: $("#myImage").hover(function() { // code to execute on mouse enter }, function() { // code to execute on mouse leave });
