Git Review

We went over a lot of stuff last time. Let's see if we can recall anything

Git WorkFlow

Notes

box model: Every HTML element operates as a box element in CSS. That is, every HTML element is actually composed of 4 CSS properties: Content, padding, border, and margin. Here is a diagram depicting the elements:

Margin

Content

border

padding

Notes

box model (continued):
- margin: CSS property for determining space around an element.
- padding: CSS property for determining the space within an element.
- border: CSS property for determining the border color, size, and type around an element.
- content: The actual HTML within the element. For example, the text inside of a p element.

border

padding

p {

padding: 1px;
border: 2px solid black;
margin: 0px 2px;

}

How Does jQuery Work?

jQuery works by being included as a single file either in your directory or stored on a server. Either way, you must link to the file somewhere in your HTML. Once you link to the file, you'll have access to all that jQuery has to offer. Plus, it's free.

http://jquery.com/

Download jQuery

Link to jQuery on a hosted CDN

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

Either way, make sure that the link to the jQuery file exists before the link to your script.js

Let's learn jQuery by using it

<script></script> : The script element is used to either link a JavaScript file to the HTML file or to add some JavaScript directly into the HTML document. For example,

<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script>

var something = 43;

</script>

$ : The bling operator is used to tell JavaScript that you're about to use jQuery and that the following object is going to be selected. For example, the following would add text to all p elements. This works for other CSS selectors as well, including ids and classes.

$("p").text("Hey, I'm just some text being added");
$("#some_container").text("Adding some text.");
$(".gato").text("meow");

Discussion

Try implementing what you learned into your project. That is:

Create a script.js file and link to it in any of your html files
Target 3 different elements in your html file using an element selector, an id selector, and a class selector.
Discuss your progress with your partner and try and explain the concepts to each other in your own words.
