10. Write down the code to load jQuery Framework from Google CDN.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
11. Write down the code to load jQuery framework from Microsoft CDN.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js">
</script>
12. Write down the code to load jQuery framework from jQuery website (EdgeCast CDN).
13. How do you load jquery locally when CDN fails?
Below given jQuery code checks whether jQuery is loaded from Google CDN or not, if not then it references the jQuery.js file from your folder.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined')
{
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='Scripts/jquery.1.5.1.min.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
}
{
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='Scripts/jquery.1.5.1.min.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
}
</script>
It first loads the jQuery from Google CDN and then check the jQuery object. If jQuery is not loaded successfully then it will reference the jQuery.js file from hard drive location. In this example, the jQuery.js is loaded from Scripts folder.
14. What is jQuery.noConflict?
jQuery is great library written on top of Java Script and its popularity is increasing day by day.The reason of popularity of jQuery is the plenty of useful, simple and easy to use plugins. But while using jQuery plugins, sometimes we include other libraries like prototype, mootools, YUI etc. The problem comes when one or more other libraries are used with jQuery as they also use $() as their global function and to define variables. This situation is creates conflict as $() is used by jQuery and other library as their global function. To overcome from such situations, jQuery has introduced jQuery.noConflict().
<script src="prototype.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery.noConflict();
// Use jQuery via jQuery(...)
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("div").hide();
});
// Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
$('someid').hide();
</script>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery.noConflict();
// Use jQuery via jQuery(...)
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("div").hide();
});
// Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
$('someid').hide();
</script>
When .noConflict() is called then jQuery returns $() to its previous owner and you will need to use jQuery() instead of shorthand $() function. In this case, "jQuery" will be used in rest of the code. You won't be able to take advantage of shorthand.
<script src="prototype.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
// Use jQuery via jQuery(...)
$j(document).ready(function(){
$j("div").hide();
});
// Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
$('someid').hide();
</script>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
// Use jQuery via jQuery(...)
$j(document).ready(function(){
$j("div").hide();
});
// Use Prototype with $(...), etc.
$('someid').hide();
</script>
