 COMMON EVENT HANDLER FUNCTIONS
click()
• occurs when an element is
clicked.

$(‘button’).click(function()
{ //code
});
dblclick()
• occurs when an element is
double-clicked.

$(‘div’).dblclick(function()
{ //code
});

COMMON EVENT HANDLER FUNCTIONS
mouseenter()
• occurs when the mouse pointer is
enters the selected element’s area

$(“button").mouseenter(function(
){$(“button").css("background-
color", “green");});

mouseleave()
• occurs when the mouse pointer
leaves the selected element.

$(“button").mouseleave(function(
){$(“button").css("background-
color", "gray");});
10
COMMON EVENT HANDLER FUNCTIONS
mouseover()
• occurs when the mouse pointer
is over the selected element.

$(“button").mouseover(function()
{ //code
});

mouseout()
• occurs when the mouse pointer
is outside the selected element.

$(“button").mouseout(function(){
//code
});
11
COMMON EVENT HANDLER FUNCTIONS

keydown()
• occurs when a keyboard key is
pressed down.

$("input").keydown(function(){
$("input").css("background-
color", "yellow");});

keyup()
• occurs when a keyboard key is
released.

$("input").keyup(function(){
$("input").css("background-
color", “red");});

submitted. focus.

$("input").submit(function(){ $(“input”).focus(function()
//code { //code
}); });

ready() scroll()

$(document).ready(function( $(“div”).scroll(function(){
){ //code //code
}); });
resize()
• occurs when the browser
window changes size.

$(window).resize(function()
{ //code
}); 14
on()
• An alternative programming
technique that can handle
events in jQuery
• It replaces any given event
listening method with itself.
• The event listening
method is written as the
first parameter, while the
function becomes the
second parameter.
$(“p”).on(“click”, function(){
$(this).css("background-color",
"pink");
});
off()
• It is the opposite method for
the on() method.
• It is used to remove any event
handlers for a selected
element.
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").off("click");
});
15
THE EVENT OBJECT
• It allows event handling functions to receive objects that contain properties and
methods related to their events.
• Event objects are passed to event handler functions as an argument. This allows for the
event object (including its properties and methods) to be used within the event
handling function.

• Event Object Properties

 The pageX and pageY properties return the mouse position (X & Y coordinates) at
the time the event occurred, relative to the top left of the page.
 The type property returns the type of the event (e.g. "click").
 The which property is specific to keyboard events; it returns the button or key that
was pressed.
 The data property returns any data that was passed in when the event was bound.
 The target property returns the DOM element that initiated the event.
16
event.preventDefault()
• The preventDefault() method
prevents the default action of
an event
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
<a
href="https://w3schools.com/">
Go to W3Schools.com </a>
event.stopPropagation()
• Stops the event from
propagating up (bubbling) to
other elements (parent,
ancestor elements).
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span").click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
alert("The span element was
clicked."); });
$("p").click(function(event){
alert("The p element was
clicked."); });
$("div").click(function(){
alert("The div element was
clicked."); });
});
17
trigger()
• Allows the execution of event
handling functions in jQuery
without any trigger from
events.
• The method is not without
limitations, as it cannot be
used to mimic native browser
events, such as clicking on a
file input box or an anchor tag.
• Only events in the jQuery event
system can be handled.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input").select(function(){
$("input").after(" Text
marked!");
});
$("button").click(function(){
$("input").trigger("select");
});
});

18
 toggle()
hide()
• Can be used to alternate
• Used to hide selected
between showing and hiding
element/s
elements
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").toggle(
$("p").hide();
}); function(){$("p").css({"color":
"red"});},
show()
function(){$("p").css({"color":
• Used to show selected
element/s "blue"});},

$("button").click(function(){ function(){$("p").css({"color":
$("p").show(); "green"});
});
});
19
20
fadeIn()
• Gradually fades an element
until it is visible.
$(‘p').click(function(){
$('img').fadeIn();
});
fadeOut()
• Gradually fades an element
until it is invisible.
$(‘p').click(function(){
$('img').fadeOut();
});
fadeToggle()
• Can be used to alternate between
fading in and fading out elements.
$(‘p').click(function(){
$('img').fadeToggle();
});
fadeTo()
• Used to fade an element to a
given opacity
• It uses floating-point values from
zero (0) and one (1) to denote
opacity percentage
$(‘p').click(function(){
$('img').fadeTo(.5);
});
21
22
slideUp()
• Produces an upwards sliding
effect to hide the selected
slideToggle()
element.
• produces an sliding effects to
$(‘p').click(function(){ hide and show the selected
$('img').slideUp();}); element.

slideDown()
• produces an upwards sliding
effect to show the selected
element.
$(‘p').click(function(){
$('img').slideToggle();
});

$(‘p').click(function(){
$('img').slideDown();});

24
animate()

❑ It is a jQuery method that allows animations to a set value, or to a value

relative to the current value.
❑ First parameter: CSS property, Second parameter: animation speed.
❑ Multiple properties can be animated simultaneously; this can be done by
separating each CSS property with commas (,).
❑ Relative values can also be defined using addition assignment (+=) or
subtraction assignment (-=) operators.

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btn1").click(function(){
$("#box").animate({height: “+=100px“,
width: “+=100px”}, 1000);}); });

25
Rules for the animate() method

• Any CSS property can be animated using the method, however, ALL property
names must be camel-cased when used with the animate() method.
 camelCase is the practice of writing compound words or phrases such
that each word or abbreviation begins with a capital letter with the first
word in lowercase.
• Dashes are eliminated from property names

Example:
CSS properties camelCase

text-transform textTransform

border-radius borderRadius

padding-left paddingLeft
26
Animation Queue

• If multiple animate() method calls are declared one after another, jQuery
creates an "internal" queue for these method calls, then it runs the animate
calls one-by-one in sequence.

$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
var div = $("div");
div.animate({height: ‘600px’, width: ‘300px'}, “fast");
div.animate({width: ‘300px', opacity: ‘600px'}, " fast");
div.animate({height: ‘300px', opacity: ‘600px'}, " fast");
div.animate({width: ‘300px', opacity: ‘300px'}, " fast");
});
});
