Advanced jQuery: Two Common jQuery Effects You Should Know

jQuery can do some animation to make some good effects to interactive with pages. There are two broad categories of effects: fading and sliding.

fadeOut() and fadeIn()

It basically fades an element out or in, and you can provide a duration if you want it to be slow or fast.

I start to create a simple HTML page which include three divs and one button. I also add some style for these divs to make effect later.

The page has three boxes and one click button. The point is that when we click the button, those three boxes will make some effect.

If we want those boxes fade out as I click the button, we can select the "button", then set "click" event type inside on(), and pass the function. In the function, we select the "div", and use set a duration in the fadeOut(). The duration is given in milliseconds. 1000 milliseconds equal to 1 second.

As I click the button, all of the boxes are hided in one second.

The fadeOut() method animates the opacity of the matched elements. Once the opacity reaches 0, the "display" property is set to "none", so the element no longer affects the layout of the page. (From jQuery.com)

If we want those hidden boxes appear again as I click the button, I can just change the "fadeOut" to "fadeIn" in the function.

slideUp() and slideDown()

It takes an element which is currently not showing and animates the height of an element.

If I want to those boxes slide up as I click the button, I only need to change the "fadeIn" or "fadeOut" to "slideUp" and keep the rest function same.

If we want those boxes show up again, we need to change "slideUp" to "slideDown", so those boxes will slide from top to bottom.

Intermediate Express.js: How To Add Styles & Partials in EJS File?

So far, we only have simple HTML tags and ejs tags in each ejs file. Every template page has no style at all. And the basic HTML header and footer are also missing. Today, I learned how to add styles and partials in ejs file. Link Style Step One: Touch a Separate CSS file I create a new directory "Style" under the "EJSDemo" directory, then I add a new CSS file "app.css" inside "Style" folder. Step Two: Add app.use(express.static()) in the app.js I add app.use(express.static("style")) in the "app.js". This will tell Express.js to serve the content of "Style" directory.

Seven Most Common jQuery Methods Last Part: ADD/REMOVE/TOGGLE CLASS()

Add, remove and toggleClass is also a very common way to manipulate style. .addClass() and .removeClass() I add two class selector in the style tag. Class one is to change text color to be green, and class two is change both text and background color.

I only want to change the first list item color and background by writing: $("li").first().toggleClas...

My Story: A Mommy Start To Learn Code From Zero

From Google Image I am not a programmer, and I thought I would never become one. Everytime I see someone is coding, I think he or she must be very talent. For me, coding is a very difficult subject to learn. Not only the language has so many rules, but also the logical reasoning behind the language is complex. In my graduated school, I knew many friends who didn't have any coding background, but they are doing programmer or developer jobs now. Some of them went to school to study coding, and some of them learned to code by themselves. Their stories are so impressive. I wasn't ready to learn code until I finished my first Chinese book "留学，我的青春呀!" recently. I always want to be a writer and write my own book. I started writing blog three years ago, and I updated my post two to three times every week. As I enjoyed writing , I started to get some followers, likes, and good comments on my blog. Then, I decided to plan my first book. My First...
