JQuery: Using JQuery CDN Set Up














In this blog I will go over how to set up jQuery for your web pages.  There are two methods to using jQuery.  The first is the use the CDN URLs that are hosted by jQuery, Google, and Microsoft just to name a few.  In this tutorial we will set the CDN from Google.  The process should be the same for jQuery and Microsoft CDNs.

Here are the URL for Google's jQuery Library:



1.x snippet: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js

2.x snippet: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js

You might be wondering why there are two versions of jQuery 1.x and 2.x, they both use the same APIs and they pretty much mirror each other on a release basis.  The only difference is that the 2.x versions does not support IE 6,7, or 8.  Just to be on the safe side I always use the 1.x versions.

So here are the steps to using jQuery in your web page:

1.  First create an HTML5 page markup

   <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        
    </body>
</html>
Now add the following script tag to the head element
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

To test if jQuery is working write a simple alert message using the $ sign, which is short hand the jQuery object.
<script>     
     $(document).ready(alert("jquery is   
      working"));
</script>

You should see an alert message that says "jquery is working" when you load the page.

jquery javascript test alert message









Here is the complete markup code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title></title>
  <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script>
   $(document).ready(alert("jquery is working"));
  </script>
    </head>
    <body> 
    </body>
</html>

SQL: GROUP BY And HAVING

Image
SQL GROUPING allows you to segregate data into groups so that you can work on it separately from the rest of the table records. Let's say you want to get the number of products in a category in the Northwind database Products table. You would write the following query: SELECT COUNT(*) NumberOfProductsByCategory FROM Products GROUP BY CategoryID The query above gives you the following results: The query gives you the number of products in each category, however it's not very useful. You don't really know what category the count is for in each record. You might want to try to change the query into something like this: SELECT CategoryID,COUNT(*) NumberOfProductsByCategory FROM Products GROUP BY CategoryID The above query is more useful the preceding one, however it only gives you the CategoryID number not the CategoryName in the Categories table. Being the perfectionist that you are you say to yourself, I can do better. "Yes, I can". I think that was a ca
