jQuery Effects

jQuery Effects

jQuery provides a trivially simple interface for doing various kind of amazing effects. jQuerymethods allow us to quickly apply commonly used effects with a minimum configuration.

This tutorial covers all the important jQuery methods to create visual effects.

Showing and Hiding elements:

The commands for showing and hiding elements are pretty much what we would expect: show()to show the elements in a wrapped set andhide() to hide them.

Syntax:

Here is the simple syntax for show() method:

[selector].show( speed, [callback] );

Here is the description of all the parameters:

speed: A string representing one of the three predefined speeds ("slow", "normal", or "fast") or the number of milliseconds to run the animation (e.g. 1000).

callbackThis optional parameter represents a function to be executed whenever the animation completes; executes once for each element animated against.

Following is the simple syntax for hide()method:

[selector].hide( speed, [callback] );

Here is the description of all the parameters:

speed: A string representing one of the three predefined speeds ("slow", "normal", or "fast") or the number of milliseconds to run the animation (e.g. 1000).

callbackThis optional parameter represents a function to be executed whenever the animation completes; executes once for each element animated against.

Example:

Consider the following HTML file with a small JQuery coding:

<html>

<head>

<title>the title</title>

   <script type="text/javascript"

   src="/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>

   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

  

   $(document).ready(function() {

 

     $("#show").click(function () {

        $(".mydiv").show( 1000 );

     });

 

     $("#hide").click(function () {

        $(".mydiv").hide( 1000 );

     });

 

   });

 

   </script>

   <style>

   .mydiv{ margin:10px;padding:12px;

      border:2px solid #666;

      width:100px;

      height:100px;

    }

  </style>

</head>

<body>

   <div class="mydiv">

      This is  SQUAR

   </div>

 

   <input id="hide" type="button" value="Hide" />  

   <input id="show" type="button" value="Show" />  

 

</body>

</html>

Toggling the elements:

jQuery provides methods to toggle the display state of elements between revealed or hidden. If the element is initially displayed, it will be hidden; if hidden, it will be shown.

Syntax:

Here is the simple syntax for one of the toggle()methods:

[selector]..toggle([speed][, callback]);

Here is the description of all the parameters:

speed: A string representing one of the three predefined speeds ("slow", "normal", or "fast") or the number of milliseconds to run the animation (e.g. 1000).

callbackThis optional parameter represents a function to be executed whenever the animation completes; executes once for each element animated against.

Example:

We can animate any element, such as a simple <div> containing an image:

<html>

<head>

<title>the title</title>

   <script type="text/javascript"

   src="/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>

   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

 

   $(document).ready(function() {

      $(".clickme").click(function(event){

          $(".target").toggle('slow', function(){

             $(".log").text('Transition Complete');

          });

      });

 

   });

   </script>

   <style>

   .clickme{ margin:10px;padding:12px;

      border:2px solid #666;

      width:100px;

      height:50px;

    }

   </style>

</head>

<body>

   <div class="content">

      <div class="clickme">Click Me</div>

      <div class="target">

         <img src="/images/jquery.jpg" alt="jQuery" />

      </div>

      <div class="log"></div>

</body>

</html>

show( speed, [callback] )

Show all matched elements using a graceful animation and firing an optional callback after completion.

slideDown( speed, [callback] )

slideToggle( speed, [callback] )

Toggle the visibility of all matched elements by adjusting their height and firing an optional callback after completion.

UI Library Based Effects:

 

To use these effects you would have to download jQuery UI Library jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js or latest version of this UI library from jQuery UI Library.
