This is a basic tutorial, designed to help you get started using jQuery. If you don't have a test page setup yet, start by creating the following HTML page: The src attribute in the <script> element must point to a copy of jQuery. Download a copy of jQuery from the Downloading jQuery page and store the jquery.js file in the same directory as your HTML file. To ensure that their code runs after the browser finishes loading the document, many JavaScript programmers wrap their code in an onload function: Unfortunately, the code doesn't run until all images are finished downloading, including banner ads.

To run code as soon as the document is ready to be manipulated, jQuery has a statement known as the ready event: For example, inside the ready event, you can add a click handler to the link: Save your HTML file and reload the test page in your browser. For click and most other events, you can prevent the default behavior by calling event.preventDefault() in the event handler: How Did We Get Here? You are here: Home Dive Into HTML5 Diving In Recently, I stumbled across a quote from a Mozilla developer about the tension inherent in creating standards: Implementations and specifications have to do a delicate dance together. You don’t want implementations to happen before the specification is finished, because people start depending on the details of implementations and that constrains the specification.

Keep this quote in the back of your mind, and let me explain how HTML5 came to be. MIME types This book is about HTML5, not previous versions of HTML, and not any version of XHTML. Every time your web browser requests a page, the web server sends “headers” before it sends the actual page markup. Content-Type: text/html “text/html” is called the “content type” or “MIME type” of the page. Of course, reality is more complicated than that. Tuck that under your hat. A long digression into how standards are made Why do we have an <img> element? On February 25, 1993, Marc Andreessen wrote: Is not available. CSS. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in HTML or XML (including XML dialects such as SVG, MathML or XHTML). CSS describes how elements should be rendered on screen, on paper, in speech, or on other media.

CSS is among the core languages of the open web and is standardized across Web browsers according to W3C specifications. Previously, development of various parts of CSS specification was done synchronously, which allowed versioning of the latest recommendations. You might have heard about CSS1, CSS2.1, CSS3. However, CSS4 has never become an official version. From CSS3, the scope of the specification increased significantly and the progress on different CSS modules started to differ so much, that it became more effective to develop and release recommendations separately per module. Instead of versioning the CSS specification, W3C now periodically takes a snapshot of the latest stable state of the CSS specification. Chapter 6, The Design Process. The Traditional Design Process Before delving into design principles for the web, let's look at the traditional design process which I was taught in school–still the standard in use today by the graphic design industry.

The Traditional Design Process 1. Brief The brief is comprised of a couple of documents: The client brief is what the client gives you. The creative brief is a document produced by a designer in response to the client brief. It may involve deciding where on a page to place an element, (such as a heading or image), how much emphasis should be given to that element, and how to emphasise it. 2. Research is vital to the success of any design solution. Insights to help generate ideas for the design. Designers don't need to be involved in the actual research, but they do need access to the results. 3. The designers get to work. 4. The designers then spend time amending the design to reflect the changes or problems highlighted by the client–sometimes endlessly. 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. Mobile First.
