Relinquish jQuery's control of the $ variable. Many JavaScript libraries use $ as a function or variable name, just as jQuery does. In jQuery's case, $ is just an alias for jQuery, so all functionality is available without using $. If you need to use another JavaScript library alongside jQuery, return control of $ back to the other library with a call to $.noConflict(). Old references of $ are saved during jQuery initialization; noConflict() simply re

Merge the contents of two or more objects together into the first object. When two or more object arguments are supplied to $.extend(), properties from all of the objects are added to the target object. Arguments that are null or undefined are ignored. If only one argument is supplied to $.extend(), this means the target argument was omitted. In this case, the jQuery object itself is assumed to be the target. By doing this, you can add new functions t

.last()

Reduce the set of matched elements to the final one in the set. Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .last() method constructs a new jQuery object from the last element in that set. Consider a page with a simple list on it: <ul> <li>list item 1</li> <li>list item 2</li> <li>list item 3</li> <li>list item 4</li> <li>list item 5</li> </ul> We ca

jQuery.parseXML()

Parses a string into an XML document. jQuery.parseXML uses the native parsing function of the browser to create a valid XML Document. This document can then be passed to jQuery to create a typical jQuery object that can be traversed and manipulated. jQuery.parseXML( data ) version added: 1.5 data

pagebeforeload event

Triggered before any load request is made. Note: The triggering of this event is deprecated as of jQuery Mobile 1.4.0. It will no longer be triggered in 1.6.0. The replacement for pagebeforeload is the pagecontainer widget's pagecontainerbeforeload event. In jQuery Mobile 1.4.0, the two events are identical except for their name and the fact that pagecontainerbeforeload is triggered on the pagecontainer, whereas pagebeforeload is triggered on

pagebeforehide event

Triggered on the "fromPage" we are transitioning away from, before the actual transition animation is kicked off. Note: The triggering of this event is deprecated as of jQuery Mobile 1.4.0. It will no longer be triggered in 1.6.0. The replacement for pagebeforehide is the pagecontainer widget's pagecontainerbeforehide event. In jQuery Mobile 1.4.0, the two events are identical except for their name and the fact that pagecontainerbeforehide is

event.pageX

The mouse position relative to the left edge of the document. event.pageX version added: 1.0.4 Examples: Show the mouse position relative to the left and top edges of the document (within this iframe). <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="ut

vmouseup event

Virtualized mouseup event handler. We provide a set of "virtual" mouse events that attempt to abstract away mouse and touch events. This allows the developer to register listeners for the basic mouse events, such as mousedown, mousemove, mouseup, and click, and the plugin will take care of registering the correct listeners behind the scenes to invoke the listener at the fastest possible time for that device. In touch environments, the plugin re

:tabbable selector

Selects elements which the user can focus via tabbing. Some elements are natively tabbable, while others require explicitly setting a positive tab index. In all cases, the element must be visible in order to be tabbable. Elements of the following type are tabbable if they do not have a negative tab index and are not disabled: input, select, textarea, button, and object. Anchors are focusable if they have an href or positive tabindex attribute. area el

jQuery.dequeue()

Execute the next function on the queue for the matched element. Note: This is a low-level method, you should probably use .dequeue() instead. When jQuery.dequeue() is called, the next function on the queue is removed from the queue, and then executed. This function should in turn (directly or indirectly) cause jQuery.dequeue() to be called, so that the sequence can continue. jQuery.dequeue( element [, queueName ]
