Beginning JavaScript and CSS Development with jQuery

Beschreibung

This book covers the jQuery JavaScript framework and the jQueryUI JavaScript framework to get more results more quickly out ofJavaScript programming. I cover each method exposed byjQuery's API, which contains methods to make common,redundant tasks go much more quickly in less code. I also cover howjQuery eliminates certain cross-browser, cross-platform developmentheadaches like the event model; not only does it eliminate theseheadaches, but it also makes it easier to work with events byreducing the amount of code that you need to write to attachevents. It even gives you the ability to simulate events. You should have a basic understanding of JavaScript. I reviewsome basic JavaScript programming concepts, such as the Event API,but I do not go into great detail about the JavaScript languageitself. You'll want to have at least a basic grasp of theDocument Object Model, or DOM, and basic JavaScript programmingsyntax. Additionally, you'll need to know your way around CSSand HTML, since knowledge of those technologies is alsoassumed. You'll see how you can leverage the jQuery UI library tomake graphically driven UI widgets. jQuery gives you the ability tobreak content up among multiple tabs in the same page. You have theability to customize the look and feel of the tabs, and even tocreate a polished look and feel by providing different effects thatcome in when you mouse over tabs and click on them. Some of the UIelements and techniques include: * make any element draggable with the mouse * drag-and-drop user interfaces * lists that are sortable via drag-and-drop * re-size elements on a page using the mouse * entering a date into a field using a nice, accessibleJavaScript-driven calendar that pops up when you click on an inputfield * custom pop-up dialogues that are like virtual pop-upwindows * a graphical slider bar, similar to your media player'svolume control
