jQuery a Quick Intro

jQuery is JavaScript Library created by John Resig in 2006 with a great idea, and idea was :

Write less, do more

jQuery simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is a framework built using JavaScript capabilities. So you can use all the functions and other capabilities available in JavaScript.Here is the list of important core features supported by jQuery:

DOM manipulation: The jQuery made it easy to select DOM elements, traverse them and modifying their content by using cross-browser open source selector engine called Sizzle.

Event handling: The jQuery offers an elegant way to capture a wide variety of events, such as a user clicking on a link, without the need to clutter the HTML code itself with event handlers.

AJAX Support: The jQuery helps you a lot to develop a responsive and feature-rich site using AJAX technology.

Animations: The jQuery comes with plenty of built-in animation effects which you can use in your websites.

Lightweight: The jQuery is very lightweight library - about 19KB in size ( Minified and gzipped ).

Cross Browser Support: The jQuery has cross-browser support, and works well in IE 6.0+, FF 2.0+, Safari 3.0+, Chrome and Opera 9.0+

nth-child CSS trick with IE Fix

The :nth-child() and :nth-of-type() pseudo-classes allows you to select elements with a formula.

The syntax is :nth-child(xn+y), where you replace x and y by numbers of your choice. For instance, :nth-child(3n+1) selects the 1st, 4th, 7th etc. child.


for example:

ul li:nth-child(3n+3) {
  color: #ccc;
}

select every third list item inside unordered lists. That is, the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, etc. nth-child accepts two keywords: even and odd."Even" selects even numbered elements, like the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. "Odd" selects odd numbered elements, like 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.

Some useful JS tricks in Webdev

Hey all, here i want to share some small but useful browser side javascripts ticky codes..

1. Javascript to check when a static page was last modified:
                 javascript:document.write(document.lastModified);
2. These take you forward or back one page.
                 javascript: back();
                 javascript: forward();
3. Replace 'message here' with your message (Example: 'hi') or your expression.
                 javascript: alert('message here');

Javascript Makes Images Fly

Open any website and paste this javascript code in address bar and press enter. ( For nice results i suggest you to google for some images (ie flowers)

javascript: R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Oh your all images will be dancing across the screen.

To make it slow near the end, "setInterval('A()',5);", change the 5 to a higher number to slow it down.

Woohoo Have fun.
