JQuery - my take…
Have you use the JavaScript library JQuery? If not, you have been missing out on a powerful and simple to use JavaScript library. If you spend a few hours with this library you will become a pro, plus there are a ton of tutorials on the web that make this simple to use and quick to get up and running with the compact library.
Here is a few quick samples:
Access an ID element in the DOM
$(’#elementID’) same as document.getElementByID(’elementID’)
It is as simple as that. JQuery uses the ‘$’ like prototype.
Also, a great advantage of JQuery is the numerous libraries or ‘plug-ins’ that are available. Plug-ins such as Form Validation, Lightbox enablers, and Date Pickers. These plug-ins are easy to enable, include the required JS/CSS files and you are off and running.
I will blog more about JQuery as I learn more of the in’s and out’s of the library. Check out the documentation here.
