Virtualized click 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 reta

Selects all elements that are the nth-child of their parent. Because jQuery's implementation of :nth- selectors is strictly derived from the CSS specification, the value of n is "1-indexed", meaning that the counting starts at 1. For other selector expressions such as :eq() or :even jQuery follows JavaScript's "0-indexed" counting. Given a single <ul> containing two <li>s, $( "li:nth-child(1)" ) selects the first <li> while $( "li:eq

Get the children of each element in the set of matched elements, including text and comment nodes. Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .contents() method allows us to search through the immediate children of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements. The .contents() and .children() methods are similar, except that the former includes text nodes and comment nodes as well as

Load data from the server using a HTTP GET request. This is a shorthand Ajax function, which is equivalent to: $.ajax({ url: url, data: data, success: success, dataType: dataType }); The success callback function is passed the returned data, which will be an XML root element, text string, JavaScript file, or JSON object, depending on the MIME type of the response. It is also passed the text status of the response. As of jQuery 1.5, the succes

The clip effect will hide or show an element by clipping the element vertically or horizontally. clip direction (default: "up") String The plane in which the clip effect will hide or show its element. vertical clips the top and bottom edges, while horizontal clips the right and left edges.

Duplicates and extends the functionality of a native HTML select element to overcome the limitations of the native control. Selectmenu transforms a <select> element into a themeable and customizable control. The widget acts as a proxy to the original <select>; therefore the original element's state is maintained for form submission and serialization. Selectmenu supports <optgroup> elements and custom markup to render specific present

Retrieve one of the elements matched by the jQuery object. The .get() method grants access to the DOM nodes underlying each jQuery object. If the value of index is out of bounds â less than the negative number of elements or equal to or greater than the number of elements â it returns undefined. Consider a simple unordered list: <ul> <li id="foo">foo</li> <li id="bar">bar</li> </ul> With an index specified, .get

Triggered after the page is successfully loaded and inserted into the DOM. 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 pageload is the pagecontainer widget's pagecontainerload event. In jQuery Mobile 1.4.0, the two events are identical except for their name and the fact that pagecontainerload is triggered on the pagecontainer, whereas pageload is trigg

The DOM node context originally passed to jQuery(); if none was passed then context will likely be the document. The .context property was deprecated in jQuery 1.10 and is only maintained to the extent needed for supporting .live() in the jQuery Migrate plugin. It may be removed without notice in a future version. The .live() method for binding event handlers uses this property to determine the root element to use for its event delegation needs. The v
