How To Make Jquery File

by

In this blog post, we will be discussing how to create a jQuery file step-by-step. jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies various tasks such as HTML document manipulation, event handling, and animation. To get started, you will need to have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Step 1: Set up the HTML file

Create a new HTML file and include the following basic structure:




    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My jQuery Project</title>



    <h2>Step 2: Include the jQuery library</h2>
<p>To use jQuery in your project, you need to include its library in your HTML file. You can either download it from the <a href="https://jquery.com/download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official website</a> or link to it from a <strong>Content Delivery Network (CDN)</strong>. In this example, we will use the Google CDN to link the library.</p>
<p>Add the following line of code within the <strong>&lt;head&gt;</strong> section of your HTML file:</p>

[sourcecode language="html"]
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

Step 3: Create a new JavaScript file

Create a new JavaScript file (e.g. scripts.js), which will contain your jQuery code. Save it in the same directory as your HTML file.

Step 4: Link your JavaScript file to your HTML file

Now, link your newly created JavaScript file to your HTML file. Add the following line of code just before the closing </body> tag:

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

Step 5: Add jQuery code to your JavaScript file

Open your JavaScript file (scripts.js) and start writing your jQuery code. Remember to wrap your code within the $(document).ready() function to ensure that your code runs only after the page has fully loaded:

$(document).ready(function() {
    // Your jQuery code goes here
});

For example, let’s say you want to hide a <div> with the ID #myDiv when you click on a button with the ID #myButton. Your jQuery code would look like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#myButton").click(function() {
        $("#myDiv").hide();
    });
});

And that’s it! You have now successfully created a jQuery file and linked it to your HTML file. You can now start using the extensive features of jQuery to manipulate your web pages with ease.
