A really good web development framework anticipates your needs. jQuery does more—it
practically reads your mind. Developers fall in love with this JavaScript library
the moment they see 20 lines of code reduced to three. jQuery is concise and readable.
Its unique “chaining” model lets you perform multiple operations on
a page element in succession, as in $(“div.elements”).addClass(“myClass”).load(“ajax_url”).fadeIn()
jQuery in Action is a fast-paced introduction and guide. It shows you how to
traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax to
your web pages. The book's unique “lab pages” anchor the explanation
of each new concept in a practical example. You'll learn how jQuery interacts
with other tools and frameworks and how to build jQuery plugins. This book requires
a modest knowledge of JavaScript and Ajax.
What's Inside
• Countless practical examples
• DOM manipulation and event handling
• Animation and UI effects
• Painless Ajax
• Based on jQuery 1.2
