Insert content, specified by the parameter, to the beginning of each element in the set of matched elements. The .prepend() method inserts the specified content as the first child of each element in the jQuery collection (To insert it as the last child, use .append()). The .prepend() and .prependTo() methods perform the same task. The major difference is in the syntaxâspecifically, in the placement of the content and target. With .prepend(), the sele

Triggered on the page being initialized, after initialization occurs. We recommend binding to this event instead of DOM ready() because this will work regardless of whether the page is loaded directly or if the content is pulled into another page as part of the Ajax navigation system. $( document ).on( "pageinit", "#aboutPage", function( event ) { alert( "This page was just enhanced by jQuery Mobile!" ); }); Note: This event has been depreca

Selects all elements that are the first among siblings of the same element name. The :first-of-type selector matches elements that have no other element with both the same parent and the same element name coming before it in the document tree. jQuery( ":first-of-type" ) version added: 1.9 Examples:

Select all elements at an index less than index within the matched set. index-related selectors The index-related selectors (including this "less than" selector) filter the set of elements that have matched the expressions that precede them. They narrow the set down based on the order of the elements within this matched set. For example, if elements are first selected with a class selector (.myclass) and four elements are returned, these elements ar

Selects all elements that are the only child of their parent. If the parent has other child elements, nothing is matched. jQuery( ":only-child" ) version added: 1.1.4 Examples: Change the text and add a border for each button that is the only child of its parent. <!do

Virtualized mousemove 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

Create a serialized representation of an array, a plain object, or a jQuery object suitable for use in a URL query string or Ajax request. In case a jQuery object is passed, it should contain input elements with name/value properties. This function is used internally to convert form element values into a serialized string representation (See .serialize() for more information). As of jQuery 1.3, the return value of a function is used instead of the fun
