jQuery has a lot of very useful plugins that can help you with almost anything, but there are a couple of plugins that aren’t that smart to use, why? Well sometimes 1 or 2 lines of jQuery code can do the same thing(or even better), so why use a big script if you can do the same trick with a small piece of code.
As many of you already know, jQuery can do a lot of things in more than just one way, so if you see a tip, trick or solution and think/know this can be done better, smarter or faster please let me know, post and share it in a comment below of just email me this, so that i can use this for part 2.
● Disable right-click(禁止右键点击)
Disable right-click contextual menu.
- $(document).ready(function(){
- $(document).bind("contextmenu", function(e) {
- return false;
- });
- });
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).bind("contextmenu", function(e) {
return false;
});
});
● Disappearing search field text(隐藏搜索文本框文字)
Hide when clicked in the search field, the value.(example can be found below in the comment fields)
- $(document).ready(function() {
- $("input.text1").val("Enter your search text here");
- textFill($('input.text1'));
- });
- // input focus text function
- function textFill(input) {
- var originalvalue = input.val();
- input.focus(function() {
- if( $.trim(input.val()) == originalvalue ) {
- input.val('');
- }
- });
- input.blur( function() {
- if( $.trim(input.val()) == '' ) {
- input.val(originalvalue);
- }
- });
- }
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input.text1").val("Enter your search text here");
textFill($('input.text1'));
});
// input focus text function
function textFill(input) {
var originalvalue = input.val();
input.focus(function() {
if( $.trim(input.val()) == originalvalue ) {
input.val('');
}
});

if( $.trim(input.val()) == '' ) {
input.val(originalvalue);
}
});
}

- //Example 2: Links with the rel="external" attribute will only open in a new window
- $('a[@rel$='external']').click(function() {
- this.target = "_blank";
- });
- });
- // how to use
- <a href="http://www.opensourcehunter.com" rel="external">open link</a>
$(document).ready(function() {
//Example 1: Every link will open in a new window
$('a[href^="http://"]').attr("target", "_blank");
//Example 2: Links with the rel="external" attribute will only open in a new window
