Seven Most Common jQuery Methods Part One: Text() and HTML()


The course introduced seven most common jQuery methods that can save us a lot of time and make our code super clean.

  • .text()
  • .html()
  • .attr()
  • .val()
  • .addClass()
  • .removeClass()
  • .toggleClass()
Today, I am going to share the first two methods study note with you.

I start to create a simple HTML page includes h1, an simple input and a fruit list.


Then, I link to the jQuery file and check if it is connected correctly.


.text()

According to jQuery, this method can get combined text contents of each element in the set of matched elements, including their descendants, or set the text contents of the matched elements.

For example, if I want to see the h1 text content in console, I just need to type $("h1").text(). Then, it will call back the h1 text.


We can do the same thing to the list content, too. When I select the li, it will return all list items in a string.


text() method can also change the content. I can change the h1 text content by adding the new content inside the text().

.html()

According to jQuery, it allows to get the HTML contents of the first element in the set of matched elements or set the HTML contents of every matched element.

If I want to see the HTML of the list, I can type $("ul").html(). It will return the HTML content.


If I want to update the HTML list, we can enter the new HTML list in the html(). I updated the list from three items to two items.

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

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. Step Three: Write styles in CSS file I simple give body an orange background color and set text color to be grey. Step Four: Link to CSS file in the EJS file I just add <link> tag to link the "app.css" file on the top of the h1 tag in each ejs template. As the result, when I run the app and...

Intro to Backend: Is Browser The Only Place To Send HTTP Request?

Today,  I begin to learn the second part of web develop course: backend. Frontend is the stuff that we can see and interactive with, such as HTML, CSS, and JS. We can type our code, style our page, or write some function to make interaction. However, backend is everything else. For example, we type Target web address in the Internet Browser. As we hit "enter", there are a few steps to go through: 1. The HTTP request is sent to a particular server's IP address. 2. The server figures out what to send us 3. It sends a HTTP response back to us Those process we are hard to see, and it happens in less than one second. The instructor said that the browser is not the only place to send the HTTP request, and there are so many choices out there. In this learning course, we are going to use Postman App . Postman allows us to make HTTP requests and viewer responses. It is really for developers to understand how things are working or debug something. In the P...

People can see what you see, and may be feel the same way as you feel, too. If we want to build our own photo gallery, what should we do? Luckily, the boot-camp instructor just showed me how to use HTML and CSS to create a simple photo gallery.  I would love to share my study note here. (p.s. all the image links are provided by Udemy course instructor) Step One: Add Image Links on HTMLPage The instructor provides all the image links. All we need to do is add those links inside the <img> tag. Without CSS, the page will looks like this: they are not organized, and sizes are different, too. Step Two: Set Image Property Values We set the width of each photo the same value which is 30%, so there will be three images per line. The percentage value can help...
