12. Example: Expanding Form

13. Example: Expanding Form - Continued Iterate through jQuery wrapped set by using the each() method. There are 2 ways to pass in this data. Controls the context. This is consistent. Since this item is added dynamically, you will need to use the live() method instead of bind() You can chain jQuery objects to each other. This makes for really succinct statements. Indent your code so you can easily see what is the current object in the chain Control chaining with the end() method

14. Events in jQuery Control how this event gets bubbled down the DOM Prevent the default behavior of an element. Useful for buttons and links. Bind an element that is already added to the DOM Bind an element that is not yet added to the DOM. Very useful with Ajax or adding elements dynamically Namespacing works really well when you have multiple listeners attached to the same element. Unbinding events. Opposite of live()

15. Example: Pager

16. Example: Pager - Continued Setup event handler Optional second parameter stores your custom data that is passed from the event Events can be triggered by using the trigger() method. Load custom data from the data attribute of the html element Always prevent the default behavior of any hyperlink event you trap.

17. Example: Default Images Bind default resources on the “error” event.

18. jQuery in Visual Studio By adding script references to your .js file, you get intellisense… kinda. You will not be able to select any elements until the document is ready. Most if your work will happen here. Good practice to always alias your $ by using Local Scope. This will prevent any collisions with any other library that may use $ variable

19. Example: Simulated Page Lifecycle By adding script references to your .js file, you get intellisense… kinda. Works good if you have multiple js files that all depend on the document loaded event

20. Example: Ajax Proxy Very flexible way to pass in parameters to a function. Pass in as many or as few parameters as you need. Alias your functions by using jQuery as $

21. Example: Ajax Dropdown with ASP.NET MVC

22. Pattern: Default Values Old way… Doesn’t scale very well at all. Pass in an object hash with as many or as few parameters as you want. jQuery Way… Enumerate any default values Default values will be overwritten by the values you passed in the ‘params’ object.
