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?

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. 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...

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...

Three Most Common HTML Form Elements You Should Know

When I visited the Facebook page at the first time, it required me to sign up. Therefore, I completed the sign up form to create my new account. The form is very simple to fill in because it only asks for very common information such as full name, phone number, new password, birthday, and gender. It only took me one or two minutes to finish the form. Not only Social media sites require us to sign up first before we post anything, but many business or eCommerce sites also ask us to create new account before we take any action. For example, when I go to the Origins skin care site, it will pop up a email sign up form window. To encourage new customers to sign up, it gives a 15% off for the first order. It is definitely an attractive call-to-action message. Anyway, if your website requires users to sign up, you need to know how to create a HTML form. Yesterday, I just learned how to build a simple HTML form from Udemy course. And it is not that hard. All you need to kno...
