jQuery Lightbulb

If you want to learn jQuery, which is a hot tech skill these days head over to www.codecademy.com

The following statement had the light bulb go off:

VERY IMPORTANT ---

You know a lot about jQuery events already, but it never hurts to review the basics.

The setup almost always looks like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('thingToTouch').event(function() {
        $('thingToAffect').effect();
    });
});

where "thing to touch" is the HTML element you'll click on, hover over, or otherwise interact with, and "thing to affect" is the HTML element that fades away, changes size, or undergoes some other transformation.

Sometimes these elements are one and the same—you might hover over a <div> to change its opacity. Other times, you might interact with a separate element; for example, you might click on a button to resize a <div>.

Sometimes if you want an effect to occur right away, without an event like .click() or.hover(), you'll skip the second line in the above:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('thingToAffect').effect();
});
