Virtualized mouseover 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

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

Replace each target element with the set of matched elements. The .replaceAll() method is similar to .replaceWith(), but with the source and target reversed. Consider this DOM structure: <div class="container"> <div class="inner first">Hello</div> <div class="inner second">And</div> <div class="inner third">Goodbye</div> </div> We can create an element, then replace other elements with it: $( "<

Filter method to respect data-enhance=false parent elements during manual enhancement. For users that wish to respect data-enhance=false parent elements during manual enhancement or custom plugin authoring jQuery Mobile provides the $.fn.jqmEnhanceable filter method. Settings: If, and only if, $.mobile.ignoreContentEnabled is set to true, this method will traverse the parent nodes for each DOM element in the jQuery object and where it finds a

Set default values for future Ajax requests. Its use is not recommended. For details on the settings available for $.ajaxSetup(), see $.ajax(). All subsequent Ajax calls using any function will use the new settings, unless overridden by the individual calls, until the next invocation of $.ajaxSetup(). Note: The settings specified here will affect all calls to $.ajax or Ajax-based derivatives such as $.get(). This can cause undesirable behavior since

Display the matched elements with a sliding motion. The .slideDown() method animates the height of the matched elements. This causes lower parts of the page to slide down, making way for the revealed items. Durations are given in milliseconds; higher values indicate slower animations, not faster ones. The strings 'fast' and 'slow' can be supplied to indicate durations of 200 and 600 milliseconds, respectively. If any other string is supplied, or if th

Determine the internal JavaScript [[Class]] of an object. A number of techniques are used to determine the exact return value for an object. The [[Class]] is determined as follows: If the object is undefined or null, then "undefined" or "null" is returned accordingly. jQuery.type( undefined ) === "undefined" jQuery.type() === "undefined" jQuery.type( window.notDefined ) === "undefined" jQuery.type( null ) === "null" If the argument is either a primit

Easings Easing functions specify the speed at which an animation progresses at different points within the animation. jQuery core ships with two easings: linear, which progresses at a constant pace throughout the animation, and swing (jQuery core's default easing), which progresses slightly slower at the beginning and end of the animation than it does in the middle of the animation. jQuery UI provides several additional easing functions, ranging from variations on the swing behavior to customi

Register a handler to be called when Ajax requests complete. This is an AjaxEvent. Whenever an Ajax request completes, jQuery triggers the ajaxComplete event. Any and all handlers that have been registered with the .ajaxComplete() method are executed at this time. To observe this method in action, set up a basic Ajax load request: <div class="trigger">Trigger</div> <div class="result"></div> <div class="log"></div>
