JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 6

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 08:46:04 GMT

For every programming language, there is invariably string manipulation and array fiddling. No exception with JQuery. Being unobtrusive in principal and complimentary in nature, it does not try to replace the existing bulk of JavaScript functions with its own, rather, it simply adds some of the most sorely missed functions.

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 5

On with our journey of learning JQuery. Thanks to all of you who has stayed and cheered and made me go on, against my own lazy nature. So far, we have slowly walked through the bunch of commands by which we select, dress up, manipulate chains of elements and make them action bound. Now, let's look at the tiny set of commands for special-effects: show / hide with a speed, slide up / slide down, fade in and out. After all, we are human, insatiable for animations and wow factors.

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 4

On again with the very basics of JQuery. Thanks again for all of the kicks, dzones, stumbled-upons. I am wearing a permanent thank-you smile now. :) Now that we have done with the selection and manipulation of JQuery elements, time for some actions (event handling). Actions, reactions, interactions, through which we learn, connect and play, through which web becomes an inseperable part of our lives.

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 3

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:46:11 GMT

Snail on with my learning and writing about the very very basic lessons on JQuery. In "modern" (DOM) web programming, web pages are made up of a hierarchy of elements. Manipulation of elements goes far beyond styling and positioning, it involves almost everything, adding / deleting content, appending and removing children elements, attaching itself to a new parent, cloning ... Everything is possible. The question is : How?

So it is nice to be able to use a combination of JQuery selectors to grab an array of elements, however, it would be better if we know how to inspect them one by one and operate on them.

JQuery, the very very basics - Lesson 1

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 08:46:02 GMT

JQuery is the star among the growing list of JavaScript libraries. A few of its characteristics are light-weight, cross-browser compatibility and simplicity. A task that would take 10 lines of code with traditional JavaScript can be accomplished with JQuery in just 1 line of code. I write to record the series of very basic lessons I learned about JQuery (my study source is the very readable book JQuery in Action).

JavaScript with ASP .NET server controls

Sat, 10 May 2008 12:31:02 GMT

Leverage the power of ASP .NET server controls and the rich capacity of JavaScript. Before ASP .NET, there was ASP; before ASP, there was JavaScript. While ASP has been gradually marginalized by the rapid succession of ASP .NET 1.x, 2.x and now 3.x, JavaScript remains the sole source and foundation of snappy client-side user experience.
