• jQuery?

• Features of jQuery

• fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.


• jQuery greatly simplifies JavaScript programming.
• easy to learn and code.
• it also requires much less lines of code to achieve the same feature in
comparison.
• lightweight, "write less, do more",
• It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event
handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that
works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility
and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write
JavaScript.
• Popular JavaScript framework.
• Cross Browser Friendly – jQuery is currently the most popular JavaScript
library and works in all browsers.
• Plug-ins – There are an abundance of plug-ins on the web that make
creating special effects simple and fast for web developers.
• The jQuery library contains the following
features:
• HTML/DOM manipulation
• CSS manipulation
• HTML event methods
• Effects and animations
Adding jQuery to Your Web Pages

• Download the jQuery library from jQuery.com


Or
• Include jQuery from a CDN, like Google
• 1. Downloading jQuery

• The jQuery library is a single JavaScript file,


and you reference it with the HTML <script>
tag:
• <head>
<script src="jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
• Place the downloaded file in the same
directory as the pages where you wish to use
it.
2.jQuery CDN
• Include it from a CDN (Content Delivery Network).Both Google and
Microsoft host jQuery.
• If many different web sites use the same JavaScript framework, it
makes sense to host the framework library in a common location
for every web page to share. A CDN (Content Delivery Network)
solves this. A CDN is a network of servers containing shared code
libraries Google provides a free CDN for a number of JavaScript
libraries, including:
• jQuery
• Prototype
• MooTools
• Dojo
• Yahoo! YUI
• To use jQuery from Google or Microsoft, use
one of the following or To use a JavaScript
framework library in your web pages, just
include the library in a <script> tag:
• <head>
<script
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jque
ry/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
Or
• <head>
<script
src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/j
query-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
Many users already have downloaded jQuery
from Google or Microsoft when visiting
another site. As a result, it will be loaded from
cache when they visit your site, which leads to
faster loading time. Also, most CDN's will
make sure that once a user requests a file
from it, it will be served from the server
closest to them, which also leads to faster
loading time.
jQuery Syntax

$(selector).action()
sign to access jQuery

query (or find)" HTML elements

action() to be performed on the element(s)

$("p").hide() - hides all <p> elements.


The Document Ready Event

• all jQuery methods are inside a document


ready event:
• $(document).ready(function(){

// jQuery methods go here...

});
• This is to prevent any jQuery code from
running before the document is finished
loading (is ready).
• We should wait for the document to be fully
loaded and ready before working with it. This
also allows you to have your JavaScript code
before the body of your document, in the
head section.
Or you can simply write:
$(function(){

// jQuery methods go here...

});
jQuery Selectors

• allow us to select and manipulate HTML


element(s).
• All selectors in jQuery start with the dollar
sign and parentheses: $().
• The element Selector:selects elements based
on the element name.For eg.
$("p")
• The #id Selector:uses the id attribute of an
HTML tag to find the specific element.
$("#test")
• The .class Selector:finds elements with a
specific class.
• $(".test")
Element selector
• <!DOCTYPE html>
• <html>
• <head>
• <script
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
•
• Or Src="jquery-1.11.2.min.js"
• <script>
• $(document).ready(function(){
• $("button").click(function(){
• $("p").hide();
• });
• });
• </script>
• </head>
• <body>

• <h2>This is a heading</h2>

• <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
• <p>This is another paragraph.</p>

• <button>Click me</button>

• </body>
• </html>
Id selector
• <!DOCTYPE html>
• <html>
• <head>
• <script
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></
script>
• <script>
• $(document).ready(function(){
• $("button").click(function(){
• $("#test").hide();
• });
• });
• </script>
• </head>
• <body>

• <h2>This is a heading</h2>

• <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
• <p id="test">This is another paragraph.</p>

• <button>Click me</button>

• </body>
• </html>
jQuery Selectors

• $("*"): Selects all elements


• $(this): Selects the current HTML element
• $("p.intro"):Selects all <p> elements with class="intro“
• $("p:first"):Selects the first <p> element
• $("ul li:first"):Selects the first <li> element of the first
<ul>
• $("ul li:first-child"):Selects the first <li> element of
every <ul>
• $("[href]"):Selects all elements with an href attribute
• $("a[target='_blank']"):Selects all <a>
elements with a target attribute value equal to
"_blank
• $("a[target!='_blank']"):Selects all <a>
elements with a target attribute value NOT
equal to "_blank“
• $(":button"):Selects all <button> elements
and <input> elements of type="button“
• $("tr:even"):Selects all even <tr> elements
• $("tr:odd"):Selects all odd <tr> elements
jQuery Event Methods

• An event represents the precise moment


when something happens.
• The term "fires" is often used with events.
Events

• Mouse Events:
• click,dblclick,mouseenter,mouseleave
• Keyboard Events:
• keypress,keydown,keyup
• Form Events:
• submit,change,focus,blur
• Document/Window :
• load,resize,scroll,unload
jQuery Syntax For Event Methods

• To assign a click event to all paragraphs on a


page,
• $("p").click();
• The next step is to define what should happen
when the event fires. You must pass a function
to the event:
• $("p").click(function(){
// action goes here!!
});
Commonly Used jQuery Event
Methods
• $(document).ready():
The $(document).ready() method allows us to execute
a function when the document is fully loaded.
• click():
The click() method attaches an event handler function
to an HTML element. The function is executed when
the user clicks on the HTML element.
• The following example says: When a click event fires on
a <p> element; hide the current <p> element:
Click event
• <!DOCTYPE html>
• <html>
• <head>
• <script
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></
script>
• <script>
• $(document).ready(function(){
• $("p").click(function(){
• $(this).hide(); current element will be hidden i.e button
• });
• });
• </script>
• </head>
• <body>

• <p>HELLO WORLD</p>
• <p>Click me away!</p>
• <p>Click me too!</p>

• </body>
• </html>
• dblclick()
The dblclick() method 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(){
$(this).hide();
});
• mouseenter()
• The mouseenter() method attaches an event
handler function to an HTML element.
• The function is executed when the mouse
pointer enters the HTML element:
• $("#p1").mouseenter(function(){
alert("You entered p1!");
});
• mouseleave()
• The mouseleave() method attaches an event
handler function to an HTML element.
The function is executed when the mouse
pointer leaves the HTML element:
$("#p1").mouseleave(function(){
alert("Bye! You now leave p1!");
});
• mouseup()
• The mouseup() method attaches an event
handler function to an HTML element.
• The function is executed, when the left mouse
button is released, while the mouse is over
the HTML element:
• $("#p1").mouseup(function(){
alert("Mouse up over p1!");
});
• mousedown()
• The mousedown() method attaches an event
handler function to an HTML element.
• The function is executed, when the left mouse
button is pressed down, while the mouse is
over the HTML element:
• $("#p1").mousedown(function(){
alert("Mouse down over p1!");
});
• hover()
• The hover() method takes two functions and is
a combination of the mouseenter() and
mouseleave() methods.
• The first function is executed when the mouse
enters the HTML element, and the second
function is executed when the mouse leaves
the HTML element:
Example of hover

• $("#p1").hover(function(){
alert("You entered p1!");
},
function(){
alert(" You now leave p1!");
});
• focus()
• The focus() method attaches an event handler
function to an HTML form field.
• The function is executed when the form field
gets focus:
• $("input").focus(function(){
$(this).css("background-color", "#cccccc");
});
• blur()
• The blur() method attaches an event handler
function to an HTML form field.
• The function is executed when the form field
loses focus:
• $("input").blur(function(){
$(this).css("background-color", "#ffffff");
});
• The on() Method:
• The on() method attaches one or more event
handlers for the selected elements.
• <!DOCTYPE html>
• <html>
• <head>
• <script
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.
js"></script>
• <script>
• $(document).ready(function(){
• $("p").on({
• mouseenter: function(){
• $(this).css("background-color", "lightgray");
• },
• mouseleave: function(){
• $(this).css("background-color", "lightblue");
• },
• click: function(){
• $(this).css("background-color", "yellow");
• }
• });
• });
• </script>
• </head>
• <body>

• <p>Click or move the mouse pointer over this


paragraph.</p>

• </body>
• </html>
jQuery Effects - Hide and Show

• jQuery hide() and show()


• $(selector).hide(speed,callback);

$(selector).show(speed,callback);
• The optional speed parameter specifies the speed
of the hiding/showing, and can take the following
values: "slow", "fast", or milliseconds.
• The optional callback parameter is a function to
be executed after the hide() or show() method
completes
example

• $("#hide").click(function(){
$("p").hide(); all paragraph elements will be hidden
});

$("#show").click(function(){
$("p").show();
});
jQuery toggle()

• can toggle between the hide() and show()


methods with the toggle() method.
• $(selector).toggle(speed,callback);
• $("button").click(function(){
$("p").toggle();
});
jQuery Effects - Fading

• Fading Methods: we can fade an element in and out of


visibility.
• fadeIn() Method: is used to fade in a hidden element.
• Syntax:
• $(selector).fadeIn(speed,callback);
• The optional speed parameter specifies the duration of
the effect. It can take the following values: "slow",
"fast", or milliseconds.
• The optional callback parameter is a function to be
executed after the fading completes.
example

• $(document).ready(function(){
• $("button").click(function(){
• $("#div1").fadeIn();
• $("#div2").fadeIn("slow");
• $("#div3").fadeIn(3000);
• }); no of milliseconds
• });
• fadeOut() Method
• The jQuery fadeOut() method is used to fade
out a visible element.
• Syntax:
• $(selector).fadeOut(speed,callback);
• fadeToggle() Method
• The jQuery fadeToggle() method toggles between
the fadeIn() and fadeOut() methods.
• If the elements are faded out, fadeToggle() will
fade them in.
• If the elements are faded in, fadeToggle() will
fade them out.
• Syntax:
• $(selector).fadeToggle(speed,callback);
• fadeTo() Method
• The jQuery fadeTo() method allows fading to a
given opacity (value between 0 and 1).
• Syntax:
• $(selector).fadeTo(speed,opacity,callback)
• The required opacity parameter in the
fadeTo() method specifies fading to a given
opacity (value between 0 and 1).
Sliding Methods

• can create a sliding effect on elements.


• jQuery has the following slide methods:
• slideDown()
• slideUp()
• slideToggle()
•
• slideDown() Method: is used to slide down an
element.
• Syntax:
• $(selector).slideDown(speed,callback);
• $("#flip").click(function(){
$("#panel").slideDown();
});
• slideUp() Method
• The jQuery slideUp() method is used to slide
up an element.
• Syntax:
• $(selector).slideUp(speed,callback);
• slideToggle() Method
• The jQuery slideToggle() method toggles
between the slideDown() and slideUp()
methods.
• If the elements have been slid down,
slideToggle() will slide them up.
• If the elements have been slid up,
slideToggle() will slide them down.
• $(selector).slideToggle(speed,callback);
Animation
• The animate() Method
• The jQuery animate() method is used to create
custom animations.
• Syntax:
• $(selector).animate({params},speed,callback);
• The required params parameter defines the CSS
properties to be animated.
• The optional speed parameter specifies the
duration of the effect. It can take the following
values: "slow", "fast", or milliseconds.
• The optional callback parameter is a function to
be executed after the animation completes.
animate() - Manipulate Multiple
Properties
• it moves a <div> element to the right, until it has
reached a left property of 250px:
• Example
• $("button").click(function(){
$("div").animate({
left: '250px',
opacity: '0.5',
height: '150px',
width: '150px'
});
});
• animate() - Using Relative Values
• It is also possible to define relative values (the
value is then relative to the element's current
value). This is done by putting += or -= in front of
the value:
• Example
• $("button").click(function(){
$("div").animate({
left: '250px',
height: '+=150px',
width: '+=150px'
});
});
• animate() - Using Pre-defined Values
• You can even specify a property's animation
value as "show", "hide", or "toggle":
• Example
• $("button").click(function(){
$("div").animate({
height: 'toggle'
});
});
• animate() - Uses Queue Functionality
• By default, jQuery comes with queue
functionality for animations.
• This means that if you write multiple animate()
calls after each other, jQuery creates an "internal"
queue with these method calls. Then it runs the
animate calls ONE by ONE.
• So, if you want to perform different animations
after each other, we take advantage of the queue
functionality:
example
• $("button").click(function(){
var div = $("div");
div.animate({height: '300px', opacity: '0.4'},
"slow");
div.animate({width: '300px', opacity: '0.8'},
"slow");
div.animate({height: '100px', opacity: '0.4'},
"slow");
div.animate({width: '100px', opacity: '0.8'},
"slow");
});
Previous example first moves the <div> element to
the right, and then increases the font size of the
text:
$("button").click(function(){
var div = $("div");
div.animate({left: '100px'}, "slow");
div.animate({fontSize: '3em'}, "slow");
});
•
stop() Method

• The jQuery stop() method is used to stop an


animation or effect before it is finished.
• The stop() method works for all jQuery effect
functions, including sliding, fading and custom
animations.
• Syntax:
• $(selector).stop();
Callback Functions

• JavaScript statements are executed line by


line. However, with effects, the next line of
code can be run even though the effect is not
finished. This can create errors.
• To prevent this, you can create a callback
function.
• A callback function is executed after the
current effect is finished.
• syntax: $(selector).hide(speed,callback);
• The example below has a callback parameter
that is a function that will be executed after
the hide effect is completed:
• $("button").click(function(){
$("p").hide("slow", function(){
alert("The paragraph is now hidden");
});
});
Without callback

• The example below has no callback parameter,


and the alert box will be displayed before the
hide effect is completed:
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").hide(1000);
alert("The paragraph is now hidden");
});
Chaining

• We can chain together actions/methods.


• Chaining allows us to run multiple jQuery
methods (on the same element) within a
single statement.
jQuery Method Chaining

• Until now we have been writing jQuery statements one at a


time (one after the other).
• However, there is a technique called chaining, that allows
us to run multiple jQuery commands, one after the other,
on the same element(s).
• This way, browsers do not have to find the same element(s)
more than once.
• To chain an action, you simply append the action to the
previous action.
• The following example chains together the css(), slideUp(),
and slideDown() methods. The "p1" element first changes
to red, then it slides up, and then it slides down:
example
• $("#p1").css("color",
"red").slideUp(2000).slideDown(2000);
jQuery - Get Content and Attributes

• jQuery contains powerful methods for


changing and manipulating HTML elements
and attributes.
• jQuery DOM Manipulation
• One very important part of jQuery is the
possibility to manipulate the DOM.
• jQuery comes with a bunch of DOM related
methods that make it easy to access and
manipulate elements and attributes.
Get Content - text(), html(), and val()

• 3 jQuery methods for DOM manipulation are:


• text() - Sets or returns the text content of
selected elements
• html() - Sets or returns the content of selected
elements (including HTML markup)
• val() - Sets or returns the value of form fields
how to get content with the jQuery
text() and html() methods:
• $("#btn1").click(function(){
alert("Text: " + $("#test").text());
});
$("#btn2").click(function(){
alert("HTML: " + $("#test").html());
});
how to get the value of an input field
with the jQuery val() method:
• $("#btn1").click(function(){
alert("Value: " + $("#test").val());
});
Get Attributes - attr()

• The jQuery attr() method is used to get attribute


values.
• The following example demonstrates how to get
the value of the href attribute in a link:
• Example
• $("button").click(function(){
alert($("#ashoka").attr("href"));
});
•
Set Content - text(), html(), and val()

• $("#btn1").click(function(){
$("#test1").text("Hello world!");
});
$("#btn2").click(function(){
$("#test2").html("<b>Hello world!</b>");
});
$("#btn3").click(function(){
$("#test3").val("Dolly Duck");
});
Set Attributes - attr()

• is also used to set/change attribute values.


• The following example demonstrates how to
change (set) the value of the href attribute in
a link:
• $("button").click(function(){
$("#ashoka").attr("href",
"http://www.google.com");
});
jQuery - Add Elements

• Add New HTML Content


• four jQuery methods that are used to add new content:
• append() - Inserts content at the end of the selected
elements
• prepend() - Inserts content at the beginning of the
selected elements
• after() - Inserts content after the selected elements
• before() - Inserts content before the selected elements
• append() Method
• $("p").append("Some appended text.");
• prepend() Method
• $("p").prepend("Some prepended text.");
example
• <!DOCTYPE html>
• <html>
• <head>
• <script
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
• <script>
• $(document).ready(function(){
• $("#btn1").click(function(){
• $("p").append(" <b>hello world</b>.");
• });

• $("#btn2").click(function(){
• $("ol").append("<li>Appended list item</li>");
• });
• });
• </script>
• </head>
• <body>

• <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
• <p>This is another paragraph.</p>

• <ol>
• <li>List item 1</li>
• <li>List item 2</li>
• <li>List item 3</li>
• </ol>

• <button id="btn1">Append text</button>


• <button id="btn2">Append list items</button>

• </body>
• </html>
Add Several New Elements With
append() and prepend()
• <script>
• function appendText() {
• var txt1 = $("<p></p>").text("orange");
• var txt2 = $("<p></p>").text("apple");
• var txt3 = document.createElement("p");
• txt3.innerHTML = "watermelon";
• $("p").append(txt1, txt2, txt3);
• }
• </script>
• The elements are created with text/HTML,
jQuery, and JavaScript/DOM. Then we append
the new elements to the text with the
append() method (this will work for prepend()
too)
after() and before() Methods

• $(“element").after("Some text after");

$(“element").before("Some text before");


Remove Elements/Content

• remove() - Removes the selected element (and its


child elements).for e.g
• $("#div1").remove();
• In this example, the element with id div1 and its
children will be removed

• empty() - Removes the child elements from the


selected element for e.g
$("#div1").empty();
Only the children will be removed.
Filter the Elements to be Removed

• The jQuery remove() method also accepts one


parameter, which allows you to filter the
elements to be removed.
• The parameter can be any of the jQuery
selector syntaxes.
• The following example removes all <p>
elements with class=“raman":
• $("p").remove(".raman");
• This example removes all <p> elements with
class="test" and class="demo":
• Example
• $("p").remove(".test, .demo");
jQuery Manipulating CSS

• following methods:
• addClass() - Adds one or more classes to the
selected elements
• removeClass() - Removes one or more classes
from the selected elements
• toggleClass() - Toggles between
adding/removing classes from the selected
elements
• css() - Sets or returns the style attribute
• addClass() Method
• The following example shows how to add class attributes
to different elements. We can select multiple elements,
when adding classes:
• Example
• $("button").click(function(){
$("h1, h2, p").addClass(“ashoka");
$("div").addClass(“raman");
});
• Here we have added a class named as ashoka to 3
elements,h1,h2,p.
• Raman class is added to div element.
• We can also specify multiple classes within the
addClass() method.
• removeClass() Method
• The following example shows how to remove
a specific class attribute from different
elements:
• Example
• $("button").click(function(){
$("h1, h2, p").removeClass(“ashoka");
});
• ashoka class has been removed from h1,h2,p
• toggleClass() Method
• The following example will show how to use
the jQuery toggleClass() method. This method
toggles between adding/removing classes
from the selected elements:
• Example
• $("button").click(function(){
$("h1, h2, p").toggleClass("blue");
});
• css() Method
• The css() method sets or returns one or more
style properties for the selected elements.
• Return a CSS Property
• To return the value of a specified CSS property,
use the following syntax:
• css("propertyname");
• The following example will return the
background-color value of the FIRST matched
paragraph element:
• Example
• $("p").css("background-color");
• Set a CSS Property
• To set a specified CSS property, use the following
syntax:
• css("propertyname","value");
• The following example will set the background-
color value for ALL matched elements:
• Example
• $("p").css("background-color", "yellow");
• Set Multiple CSS Properties
• To set multiple CSS properties, use the following
syntax:
• css({"propertyname":"value","propertyname":"va
lue",...});
• The following example will set a background-
color and a font-size for ALL matched elements:
• Example
• $("p").css({"background-color": "yellow", "font-
size": "200%"});
Dimension Methods

• width() and height() Methods


• The width() method sets or returns the width
of an element (excludes padding, border and
margin).
• The height() method sets or returns the height
of an element (excludes padding, border and
margin).
• innerWidth() and innerHeight() Methods
• The innerWidth() method returns the width of
an element (includes padding).
• The innerHeight() method returns the height
of an element (includes padding).
• outerWidth() and outerHeight() Methods
• The outerWidth() method returns the width of
an element (includes padding and border).
• The outerHeight() method returns the height
of an element (includes padding and border).
• The outerWidth(true) method returns the
width of an element (includes padding,
border, and margin).
• The outerHeight(true) method returns the
height of an element (includes padding,
border, and margin).
• More width() and height()
• The following example returns the width and
height of the document (the HTML document)
and window (the browser viewport):
• $("button").click(function(){
$("#div1").width(500).height(500);
});
• The given example sets the width and height
of a specified <div> element.
Traversing?

• means "move through", are used to "find" (or


select) HTML elements based on their relation
to other elements. Start with one selection
and move through that selection until you
reach the elements you desire.
DOM(family tree)
• We can easily move up (ancestors), down
(descendants) and sideways (siblings) in the
family tree, starting from the selected (current)
element. This movement is called traversing - or
moving through - the DOM.
• Traversing the DOM
• jQuery provides a variety of methods that allows
us to traverse the DOM.
• The largest category of traversal methods are
tree-traversal.
Traversing - Ancestors

• An ancestor is a parent, grandparent, great-


grandparent, and so on.
• With jQuery you can traverse up the DOM tree
to find ancestors of an element.
jQuery methods for traversing up the
DOM tree are:
• parent() Method
• This method returns the direct parent element
of the selected element.
• This method only traverse a single level up the
DOM tree.
•
• The following example returns the direct
parent element of each <span> elements:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("span").parent();
});
• parents() Method
• This method returns all ancestor elements of the
selected element, all the way up to the
document's root element (<html>).
• The following example returns all ancestors of all
<span> elements:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("span").parents();
});
• You can also use an optional parameter to
filter the search for ancestors.
• The following example returns all ancestors of
all <span> elements that are <ul> elements:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("span").parents("ul");
});
• parentsUntil() Method
• This method returns all ancestor elements
between two given arguments.
• The following example returns all ancestor
elements between a <span> and a <div> element:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("span").parentsUntil("div");
});
Traversing - Descendants

• A descendant is a child, grandchild, great-


grandchild, and so on.
• With jQuery you can traverse down the DOM
tree to find descendants of an element.
Traversing Down the DOM Tree

• 2 jQuery methods for traversing down the DOM tree


are:
• children() :This method returns all direct children of
the selected element.
• This method only traverse a single level down the DOM
tree.
• The following example returns all elements that are
direct children of each <div> elements:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("div").children();
});
• You can also use an optional parameter to
filter the search for children.
• The following example returns all <p>
elements with the class name "1", that are
direct children of <div>:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("div").children("p.1");
});
• find() Method
• The find() method returns descendant elements
of the selected element, all the way down to the
last descendant.
• The following example returns all <span>
elements that are descendants of <div>:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("div").find("span");
});
• The following example returns all descendants
of <div>:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("div").find("*");
});
Traversing - Siblings

• jQuery methods for traversing sideways in the


DOM tree:
• siblings()
• next()
• nextAll()
• nextUntil()
• prev()
• prevAll()
• prevUntil()
• siblings() Method
• The siblings() method returns all sibling
elements of the selected element.
• The following example returns all sibling
elements of <h2>:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("h2").siblings();
});
• You can also use an optional parameter to
filter the search for siblings.
• The following example returns all sibling
elements of <h2> that are <p> elements:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("h2").siblings("p");
});
• next() Method
• The next() method returns the next sibling
element of the selected element.
• The following example returns the next sibling
of <h2>:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("h2").next();
});
• nextAll() Method
• The nextAll() method returns all next sibling
elements of the selected element.
• The following example returns all next sibling
elements of <h2>:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("h2").nextAll();
});
• nextUntil() Method
• The nextUntil() method returns all next sibling
elements between two given arguments.
• The following example returns all sibling
elements between a <h2> and a <h6> element:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("h2").nextUntil("h6");
});
• prev(), prevAll() & prevUntil() Methods
• The prev(), prevAll() and prevUntil() methods
work just like the methods above but with
reverse functionality: they return previous
sibling elements (traverse backwards along
sibling elements in the DOM tree, instead of
forward).
Traversing - Filtering
• Narrow Down The Search For Elements
• The three most basic filtering methods are
first(), last() and eq(), which allow you to
select a specific element based on its position
in a group of elements.
• Other filtering methods, like filter() and not()
allow you to select elements that match, or do
not match, a certain criteria.
• first() Method
• The first() method returns the first element of
the selected elements.
• The following example selects the first <p>
element inside the first <div> element:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("div p").first();
});
• last() Method
• The last() method returns the last element of
the selected elements.
• The following example selects the last <p>
element inside the last <div> element:
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("div p").last();
});
• eq() method
• The eq() method returns an element with a
specific index number of the selected elements.
• The index numbers start at 0, so the first element
will have the index number 0 and not 1. The
following example selects the second <p>
element (index number 1):
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("p").eq(1);
});
• filter() Method
• The filter() method lets you specify a criteria.
Elements that do not match the criteria are
removed from the selection, and those that
match will be returned.
• The following example returns all <p> elements
with class name "intro":
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("p").filter(".intro");
});
• not() Method
• The not() method returns all elements that do
not match the criteria.
• Tip: The not() method is the opposite of filter().
• The following example returns all <p> elements
that do not have class name "intro":
• Example
• $(document).ready(function(){
$("p").not(".intro");
});
• How do I select elements when I already have a
DOM element?
• If you have a variable containing a DOM element,
and want to select elements related to that DOM
element, simply wrap it in a jQuery object.
• var myDomElement = document.getElementById(
"foo" ); // A plain DOM element.
• $( myDomElement ).find( "a" ); // Finds all
anchors inside the DOM element.
