Continuing from yesterday, today we’ll take a look at the “fadeIn”, “slideDown”, and “show” methods. We’ll also examine jQuery’s “css” abilities.

  1. this is a great series!

  2. Thanx! Love it

  3. great stuff, thanks

  4. thank you!

  5. I just stated learning jquery today. This has helped a lot!

  6. This is great…Need to learn all this for coding websites like you guys do. :)

  7. This is indeed a great series. I am looking to learn jQuery and have started a bit. This would definitely be very helpful. I look forward to upcoming videos as well as intermediate or even advanced series in near future.

    Any plan?

  8. Thanks Jeffrey!

  9. That was great… As someone who hasn’t opened a book or anything on jQuery Im starting to feel comfortable editing scripts.

  10. great stuff! thanks for breaking it down.

  11. I was just waiting to receive my confirmation email and came across this video. Well done on a great tutorial, I haven’t seen the first episode of this tutorial - but if you haven’t done so already you could help beginners alot with jQuery by showing them how to reference an external JavaScript file within Visual Studio 2008 so that they can share methods between the two files and include the very helpful Intellisense jquery file.

    Apologises though if this has been mentioned else where.

  12. This is awesome man. Thanks very much for this great tuts series.

  13. I always wanted to learn JQuery but was a little bit intimidated. This series is fantastic for someone not knowing a bit of Java. Thanks!!!

    amazing series…. please continue!! :]

  15. Great turtorials!

    I wondered if anyone can answer this question for me. I have a menu that has an accordion effect, i want it so that when i click the different buttons, i use the .load function so it goes and grabs a url and displays it in my content area, but when i try and set this up, it will only work on one button and the others do nothing, anyone got an idea what is wrong?

    Thanks for any help :)

  16. I believe you can only load internal pages. External pages should throw a BAD URI error. So yea’ you can’t load external pages into your own pages.

    $(’a').click(function(e)
    {
    e.preventDefault(); // Stop page from loading normally
    $href = $(this).attr(’href’); // Grab the href from the anchor
    //alert($href);
    $(’#content’).load($href); // Load into div#content
    });

    Hope this helps.

  17. Came out nice. I can’t wait for some actual ways to use this stuff. Thanks for the work.

  18. Thanks so much, great tut! Can’t wait for the rest!

  19. Awesome series. I learned a lot from the first two videos. Onto the next two!

  20. These videos are great for people that have had no experience with javascript before! Thanks!

  21. You can change CSS too?! Sweet! Thanks a bunch - going to try to watch them all today.

  22. nice informative tutorial !

  23. Nice Series

  24. Great Series, thank you

  25. 5*Star stuff mate! Great in small chunks like this, always wanted to add some extra jQuery magic to my themes :-))

  26. thankyou!! I love this series!!

  27. The first one was really nice and simple. Let’s see what I’ll learn from this one. :)

  28. Excelent lessons!

  29. Super !

    What happened with the videos?

  33. Ok, so this calls the function for all links. I noticed when I clicked on one of our “red” links that it also would change the color and fade the box. If I want it only on the “click me” link, I’d have to make some other kind of div or CSS code special for that one?

  34. Nevermind, Day 4 addresses that issue. Sorry

  35. Great Resource of learning JQuery.Hats off for this effort.

  36. Awesome. Thanks alot.

  37. thx jeffery it,s so funny your lessons i need more & more fun do some thing creazy hehehehehehe

  38. This is Great Site tutorial for Me (beginer) .. thx allottttttttt

  39. Hello,

    I am trying to write a function that allows you to roll over one object and show a div tag that has another menu but if you roll over another image it hides that tag.

    Can you notice me doing anything wrong?

    rolling over the image called direct works while the other does not.

    http://boltfromtheblue.com/newsite/www/index.php

    $(function() {
    $(’div img[name=direct]‘).hover(function() {
    $(’#dramenu’).slideDown();
    });

    $(’div img[name=what]‘).hover(function(){
    $(’#dramenu’).slideUp();
    });
    });

  40. Wow great tutorial series! I’m 14 and love php, html, css but i have always had problems with stuff like this, your a great help :D Thank you very much!

  41. Exactly what I need to start understand JQuery.

  49. I LOVE it …. owesome… I have been thinking a lot about jQuery and was looking for something “from 0 to hero’ ;)

    Gooood job… !

  50. I m lovin it!

  51. These really are excellent. A couple of times, when it didn’t work, I thought I had done exactly what you said, but turned out there was just one tiny thing different…

    A question, please? Could you explain how to do more than one fadeIn per page? When I tried two, only one worked.

    Many thanks!

  52. Hi,

    I am having text on the website that I would like to show when ‘read more’ link pressed in.

    I can not do it accesable ;/// If someone dont have js turned on he/she will be not able to see all the text … maybe there is a way to set up it using different method then CSS display: none ?

    And second…. anchor redirects me to # nothing… but my links on the web (nav) stopped to work… etc. how I could not redirect to anything ? using anchor tag?

    Thank you for help… and sorry ;) I am learning ;// all this ;/

    BTW ..again… GREAT SERIES !!

  53. amazing.. i am learning it all in a day thanx///

  66. Thanks for the great videos. This is really fun stuff to play with.

  67. I’m looking for learning JQuery. It’s really great video. Thanks for your show.

  68. fadeIn”, “slideDown”, and “show” methods don’t work for me in I.E 7. Keep getting this error “Microsoft JScript runtime error: ‘jQuery.support.opacity’ is null or not an object”.. tried adding opacity and filter. does not work with css2. please help..

    thanks,
    Ash

  69. Excellent work. Thanks to guys like you, willing to spend their time to make a tutorial like this knowledge can spread. I hope to become a full time web designer instead of freelance next to a lame-ass job and jquery takes me one step closer, thanks to you.

  70. Finally, in terms I can understand. We are going over all database management, PHP, mySQL in school and Ive been begging my teacher for some basic Javascript as programming has always been HELL for me. Im starting to get PHP under my belt and you are making jQuery in complete understandable terms. KUDOS!! We need more people like you willing to devote good knowledge on instuctor levels!

  71. WoW this tutorial is so easy to understand thanks for putting this up.

  72. Jeffrey, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  73. Grate Job! Wonderful Mind Blowing
