DOM
Jquery provides a way to work accross the Broswers to access the DOM which is the biggest advatange; DOM has been implemented
by many providers since many years; difference between different browsers has made a lot of headache for developpers. developpers
used to study what the specific browser support. Jquery provides the way to easy access the DOM and simplified/unified ways to do the development.
The web browser will process the received HTML files into a DOM structured in-memory object;
It is strongly recommanded that the js script should not be mixed with the html code;
Below are all DOM functions:
windows.οnlοad=function(){}//annoymous function
document.getElementByID('x').οnclick=function
document.getElementByTag
x.parantNode
x.nodeName to get the h1, p, div,etc.,
x.href=x.setAttribute('href', 'http://o.comn')
x.getAttribute('href');
innerHTML should be used cautiously as it is not supported by call browwsers'
The getElementByClass should be delegated to Jquery as this is not common methond;
AJAX
provides several simple methods you can use to exchange data with a webserver using Ajax and easy ways to work with the data that's returned via an ajax call
EVENTS
solves the DOM ready vs. windows onload dilamma; support a simplified event handling model; provides the
bootstrap scripts to access to the DOM immediately; The big file could be slow to load and it will cause the js not work
correctly
