Seven Most Common jQuery Methods Part Two: ATTR() and VAL()

.attr()

According to jQuery, it can get the value of an attribute for the first element in the set of matched elements or set one or more attributes for every matched element.

So I use the img tag to add an apple image at the bottom of the page.

Now I want to change the apple image to a banana image, so I select the img first, and change the "src" attribute value to a new image address.

$("img").attr("src", "the new image address")

If I want to change the input type from text to color, I can write: $("input").attr("type", "color"). As the result, the input box changes to a color input.

.val()

According to jQuery, this method gets the current value of the first element in the set of matched elements or set the value of every matched element.

I type my name in the input, and then I call my name in the console by typing $("input").val().

If I want to update the input name, I can write the new name inside the val().

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.

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...
