Getting started - The complete jQuery tutorial To use jQuery, you need to include it on the pages where you wish to take advantage of it. You can do this by downloading jQuery from their website at www.jquery.com. There is usually a choice between a "Production" version and a "Development" version. The "Production" version is for your live website, because it has been minified and compressed to take up the least amount of space, which is important for your visitors, whose browser will have to download the jQuery file along with the rest of your website. For testing and development, the "Development" version is best. It hasn't been minified or compressed, so when you run into an error, you can actually see where in jQuery it happens. Once the jQuery JavaScript file has been downloaded, you will have to reference it on your pages, using the <script> HTML tag. A part of your page should now look something like this: <head> <title>jQuery test</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.5.1.js"></script></head>

Switching To High Resolution Images For Fullscreen Display On The Web Integrating Retina image versions onto web pages is optional in most cases… but when images go fullscreen on desktop, there are no alternatives but to switch to a HiDPI version, for several reasons: Thumbnail images will look awful when expanded to fullscreen size, demanding a solution. In most cases fullscreen mode will be used to display just a few images, allowing us to concentrate on edge cases rather than trying to code a solution for every image. Fullscreen mode must be engaged by the user, allowing plenty of opportunity to preload images before user interaction. The best current approach uses a combination of srcset and and the Fullscreen API: The HTML Fullscreen API with srcset Image Replacement <button>Click</button> to present content in fullscreen mode. The use of srcset's w syntax ensures that the SD version of the image is presented if the viewport is 1600 device pixels wide or less.
