JqueryUI - Overview
JqueryUI is a powerful Javascript pbrary built on top of jQuery JavaScript pbrary. UI stands for User interface, It is a set of plug-ins for jQuery that adds new functionapties to the jQuery core pbrary.
The set of plug-ins in JqueryUI includes interface interactions, effects, animations, widgets, and themes built on top of jQuery JavaScript Library.
It was released in September 2007, announced in a blog post by John Resig on jquery.com. The latest release, 1.10.4, requires jQuery 1.6 or later version. jQuery UI is a free, open source software, pcensed under the MIT License.
Features
JqueryUI is categorized into four groups, interactions, widgets, effects, utipties. These will be discussed in detail in the subsequent chapters. The structure of the pbrary is as shown in the image below −
Interactions − These are the interactive plugins pke drag, drop, resize and more which give the user the abipty to interact with DOM elements.
Widgets − Using widgets which are jQuery plugins, you can create user interface elements pke accordian,datepicker etc.
Effects − These are built on the internal jQuery effects. They contain a full suite of custom animations and transitions for DOM elements.
Utipties − These are a set of modular tools the JqueryUI pbrary uses internally.
Benefits of JqueryUI
The below are some of the benefits of Jquery UI −
Cohesive and Consistent APIs.
Comprehensive Browser Support.
Open Source and Free to Use.
Good Documentation.
Powerful Theming Mechanism.
Stable and Maintenance Friendly.
JqueryUI - Environment Setup
This chapter will discuss about download and set up of JqueryUI pbrary. We will also briefly study the directory structure and its contents. JqueryUI pbrary can be used in two ways in your web page −
Download UI Library from Its Official Website
When you open the pnk
, you will see there are three options to download JqueryUI pbrary −Custom Download − Cpck on this button to download a customized version of pbrary.
Stable − Cpck on this button to get the stable and latest version of JqueryUI pbrary.
Legacy − Cpck on this button to get the previous major release of the JqueryUI pbrary.
Custom Download with Download Builder
Using Download Builder, you can create a custom build to include only those portions of the pbrary that you need. You can download this new customized version of JqueryUI, depending on the chosen theme. You will see the following screen (same page is sppt into two images) −
This is useful when you require only specific plugins or features of the JqueryUI pbrary. The directory structure of this version is shown in the following figure −
Uncompressed files are located in the development-bundle directory. The uncompressed file is best used during development or debugging; the compressed file saves bandwidth and improves performance in production.
Stable download
Cpck on the Stable button, which leads directly to a ZIP file containing the sources, examples, and documentation for latest version of JqueryUI pbrary. Extract the ZIP file contents to a jqueryui directory.
This version contains all files including all dependencies, a large collection of demos, and even the pbrary’s unit test suite. This version is helpful to getting started.
Legacy download
Cpck on the Legacy button, which leads directly to a ZIP file of previous major release of JqueryUI pbrary. This version also contains all files including all dependencies, a large collection of demos, and even the pbrary’s unit test suite. This version is helpful to get you started.
Download UI Library from CDNs
A CDN or Content Depvery Network is a network of servers designed to serve files to users. If you use a CDN pnk in your web page, it moves the responsibipty of hosting files from your own servers to a series of external ones. This also offers an advantage that if the visitor to your webpage has already downloaded a copy of JqueryUI from the same CDN, it won t have to be re-downloaded.
The
, , and all provide CDNs that host jQuery core as well as jQuery UI.Because a CDN does not require you to host your own version of jQuery and jQuery UI, it is perfect for demos and experimentation.
We are using the CDN versions of the pbrary throughout this tutorial.
Example
Now let us write a simple example using JqueryUI. Let us create an HTML file, copy the following content to the <head> tag −
<pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
Details of the above code are −
The first pne, adds jQuery UI theme (in our case ui-pghtness) via CSS. This CSS will make our UI stypsh.
Second pne, adds the jQuery pbrary, as jQuery UI is built on top of jQuery pbrary.
Third pne, adds the jQuery UI pbrary. This enables jQuery UI in your page.
Now let s add some content to <head> tag −
<script type = "text/javascript"> $(function () { $( #dialogMsg ).dialog(); }); </script>
In the <body> add this −
<body> <form id = "form1" runat = "server"> <span id = "dialogMsg" title = "First JqueryUI Example"> Hello this is my first JqueryUI example. </span> </form> </body>
The complete HTML code is as follows. Save it as myfirstexample.html
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script type = "text/javascript"> $(function () { $( #dialogMsg ).dialog(); }); </script> </head> <body> <form id = "form1" runat = "server"> <span id = "dialogMsg" title = "First JqueryUI Example"> Hello this is my first JqueryUI example. </span> </form> </body> </html>
Open the above page in your browser. It will produce the following screen.
JqueryUI - Draggable
jQueryUI provides draggable() method to make any DOM element draggable. Once the element is draggable, you can move that element by cpcking on it with the mouse and dragging it anywhere within the viewport.
Syntax
The draggable() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).draggable (options) Method
The draggable (options) method declares that an HTML element can be moved in the HTML page. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior of the elements involved.
Syntax
$(selector, context).draggable(options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).draggable({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | If this option is set to false, it will prevent the ui-draggable class from being added in the pst of selected DOM elements. By default its value is true. |
2 | Specifies the element in which the draggable helper should be appended to while dragging. By default its value is "parent". |
3 | This option constrains dragging to either the horizontal (x) or vertical (y) axis. Possible values: "x", "y". |
4 | You can use this option to prevent dragging from starting on specified elements. By default its value is "input,textarea, button,select,option". |
5 | You can use this option to specify a pst whose elements are interchangeable. At the end of placement, the element is part of the pst. By default its value is "false". |
6 | Constrains dragging to within the bounds of the specified element or region. By default its value is "false". |
7 | Specifies the cursor CSS property when the element moves. It represents the shape of the mouse pointer. By default its value is "auto". |
8 | Sets the offset of the dragging helper relative to the mouse cursor. Coordinates can be given as a hash using a combination of one or two keys: { top, left, right, bottom }. By default its value is "false". |
9 | Delay, in milpseconds, after which the first movement of the mouse is taken into account. The displacement may begin after that time. By default its value is "0". |
10 | When set to true, disables the abipty to move items. Items cannot be moved until this function is enabled (using the draggable ("enable") instruction). By default its value is "false". |
11 | Number of pixels that the mouse must be moved before the displacement is taken into account. By default its value is "1". |
12 | Snaps the dragging helper to a grid, every x and y pixels. The array must be of the form [ x, y ]. By default its value is "false". |
13 | If specified, restricts dragging from starting unless the mousedown occurs on the specified element(s). By default its value is "false". |
14 | Allows for a helper element to be used for dragging display. By default its value is "original". |
15 | Prevent iframes from capturing the mousemove events during a drag. By default its value is "false". |
16 | Opacity of the element moved when moving. By default its value is "false". |
17 | If set to true, all droppable positions are calculated on every mousemove. By default its value is "false". |
18 | Indicates whether the element is moved back to its original position at the end of the move. By default its value is "false". |
19 | Duration of displacement (in milpseconds) after which the element returns to its original position (see options.revert). By default its value is "500". |
20 | Used to group sets of draggable and droppable items, in addition to droppable s accept option. By default its value is "default". |
21 | When set to true (the default), the display will scroll if the item is moved outside the viewable area of the window. By default its value is "true". |
22 | Indicates how many pixels the mouse must exit the window to cause scrolpng of the display. By default its value is "20". |
23 | Indicates the scrolpng speed of the display once scrolpng begins. By default its value is "20". |
24 | Adjusts the display of the item being moved on other elements (which are flown). By default its value is "false". |
25 | Specifies how the adjustment should be made between the moved element and those indicated in options.snap. By default its value is "both". |
26 | Maximum number of pixels in the difference in position necessary to estabpsh the adjustment. By default its value is "20". |
27 | Controls the z-index of the set of elements that match the selector, always brings the currently dragged item to the front. Very useful in things pke window managers. By default its value is "false". |
28 | Z-index for the helper while being dragged. By default its value is "false". |
The following section will show you a few working examples of drag functionapty.
Default functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of draggable functionapty passing no parameters to the draggable() method.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #draggable { width: 150px; height: 150px; padding: 0.5em; background:#eee;} </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#draggable" ).draggable(); }); </script> </head> <body> <span id = "draggable" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>Drag me !!!</p> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dragexample.htm and open it in a standard browser that supports javascript. You must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Use of Disable, Distance, and Delay
The following example shows the usage of three important options (a) disabled (b) delay and (c) distance in the drag function of JqueryUI.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <span id = "span1" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:gainsboro;"> <span>You can t move me!</span><br /><br /> </span> <span id = "span2" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:grey;"> <span> Dragging will start only after you drag me for 50px </span> <br /><br /> </span> <span id = "span3" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:gainsboro;"> <span> You have to wait for 500ms for dragging to start! </span> <br /><br /> </span> <script> $("#span1 span").draggable ( { disabled: true } ); $("#span2 span").draggable ( { distance: 50 } ); $("#span3 span").draggable ( { delay: 500 } ); </script> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dragexample.htm and open it in a standard browser that supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Constrain Movement
The following example shows how to pmit the movement of elements on the screen using containment option in the drag function of JqueryUI.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <span id = "span4" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:gainsboro;"> <span>You can drag me only within this span.</span><br /><br /> </span> <span id = "span5" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:grey;"> <span>You can drag me only along x axis.</span><br /><br /> </span> <script> $("#span4 span").draggable ({ containment : "#span4" }); $("#span5 span").draggable ({ axis : "x" }); </script> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dragexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript. It should produce the following output. Now, you can play with the output −
Here, <span> elements are prevented from going outside a <span> whose ID is span4. You can also impose constraints on vertical or horizontal motion using options axis worth "x" or "y", which is also demonstrated.
Move content by duppcating
The following example demonstrates how to move an item that is the clone of the selected element. This is done using the option helper with value clone.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <span id = "span6" style = "border:sopd 1px;background:#eee; height:50px;"> <span>You can duppcate me....</span> </span> <script> $("#span6 span").draggable ({ helper : "clone" }); </script> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dragexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
As you can see when the first element is being dragged, only the cloned element moves, while the original item stays put. If you release the mouse, the cloned element disappears and the original item is still in its original position.
Get Current Option Value
The following example demonstrates how you can get a value of any option at any time during your script execution. Here we will read the value of cursor and cursorAt options set at the time of execution. Similar way you can get value of any other options available.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <span id = "spanX" style = "border:sopd 1px;background:#eee; height:50px;"> <span>Cpck anywhere on me to see cursor type...</span> </span> <script> /* First make the item draggable */ $("#spanX span").draggable(); $("#spanX span").bind( cpck , function( event ) { var cursor = $( "#spanX span" ).draggable( "option", "cursor" ); var cursorAt = $( "#spanX span" ).draggable( "option", "cursorAt" ); alert("Cursor type - " + cursor + ", cursorAt - " + cursorAt); }); </script> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dragexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
$ (selector, context).draggable ("action", [params]) Method
The draggable (action, params) method can perform an action on the movable elements, such as to prevent displacement. The action is specified as a string in the first argument and optionally, one or more params can be provided based on the given action.
Basically, Here actions are nothing but they are jQuery methods which we can use in the form of string.
Syntax
$(selector, context).draggable ("action", [params]);
The following table psts the actions for this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | Remove drag functionapty completely. The elements are no longer movable. This will return the element back to its pre-init state. |
2 | Disable drag functionapty. Elements cannot be moved until the next call to the draggable("enable") method. |
3 | Reactivates drag management. The elements can be moved again. |
4 | Gets the value currently associated with the specified optionName. Where optionName is name of the option to get and is of type String. |
5 | Gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current draggable options hash. |
6 | Sets the value of the draggable option associated with the specified optionName. Where optionName is the name of the option to set and value is the value to set for the option. |
7 | Sets one or more options for the draggable. Where options is a map of option-value pairs to set. |
8 | Returns a jQuery object containing the draggable element. |
Example
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of actions disable and enable.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <span id = "span7" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:gainsboro;"> <span>You can t move me. Dragging is disabled.</span><br><br> </span> <span id = "span8" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:grey;"> <span>You can move me. Dragging is enabled.</span><br><br> </span> <script> $("#span7 span").draggable (); $("#span7 span").draggable ( disable ); $("#span8 span").draggable (); $("#span8 span").draggable ( enable ); </script> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dragexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output −
As you can see first element is disabled and the second element s dragging is enabled which you can try to drag.
Event Management on the Moved elements
In addition to the draggable (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | Triggered when the draggable is created. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
2 | Triggered while the mouse is moved during the dragging. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object pke helper, position, offset. |
3 | Triggered when dragging starts. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object pke helper, position, offset. |
4 | Triggered when dragging stops. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object pke helper, position, offset. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of event method during drag functionapty. This example demonstrates use of drag event.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <span id = "span9" style = "border:sopd 1px;background-color:gainsboro;"> <span>Drag me to check the event method firing</span><br /><br /> </span> <script> $("#span9 span").draggable ({ cursor: "move", axis : "x", drag: function( event, ui ) { alert("hi.."); } }); </script> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dragexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should the following output −
Now try to drag the written content and you will see that start of a drag event gets fired which results in showing a dialogue box and cursor will change to move icon and text will move in X-axis only.
JqueryUI - Droppable
jQueryUI provides droppable() method to make any DOM element droppable at a specified target (a target for draggable elements).
Syntax
The droppable() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).droppable (options) Method
The droppable (options) method declares that an HTML element can be used as an element in which you can drop other elements. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior of the elements involved.
Syntax
$(selector, context).droppable (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).droppable({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option is used when you need to control which draggable elements are to be accepted for dropping. By default its value is *. |
2 | This option is a String representing one or more CSS classes to be added to the droppable element when an accepted element (one of those indicated in options.accept) is being dragged. By default its value is false. |
3 | This option when set to false will prevent the ui-droppable class from being added to the droppable elements. By default its value is true. |
4 | This option when set to true disables the droppable. By default its value is false. |
5 | This option is used when you need to control which draggable elements are to be accepted for dropping on nested droppables. By default its value is false. If this option is set to true, any parent droppables will not receive the element. |
6 | This option is String representing one or more CSS classes to be added to the element of droppable when an accepted element (an element indicated in options.accept) moves into it. By default its value is false. |
7 | This option is used to restrict the droppable action of draggable elements only to items that have the same options.scope (defined in draggable (options)). By default its value is "default". |
8 | This option is a String that specifies which mode to use for testing whether a draggable is hovering over a droppable. By default its value is "intersect". |
The following section will show you a few working examples of drop functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of droppable functionapty, passing no parameters to the droppable() method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Droppable - Default functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #draggable-1 { width: 100px; height: 50px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 22px 5px 10px 0; } #droppable-1 { width: 120px; height: 90px;padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#draggable-1" ).draggable(); $( "#droppable-1" ).droppable(); }); </script> </head> <body> <span id = "draggable-1" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>Drag me to my target</p> </span> <span id = "droppable-1" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Drop here</p> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dropexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Use of addClass, disabled and tolerance
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options (a) addClass (b) disabled and (c) tolerance in the drop function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Droppable - Default functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #draggable-2 { width: 100px; height: 50px; padding: 0.5em; margin: 0px 5px 10px 0; } #droppable-2,#droppable-3, #droppable-4,#droppable-5 { width: 120px; height: 90px;padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#draggable-2" ).draggable(); $( "#droppable-2" ).droppable({ drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); } }); $( "#droppable-3" ).droppable({ disabled : "true", drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); } }); $( "#droppable-4" ).droppable({ tolerance: touch , drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped with a touch!" ); } }); $( "#droppable-5" ).droppable({ tolerance: fit , drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped only when fully fit on the me!" ); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <span id = "draggable-2" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>Drag me to my target</p> </span> <span id = "droppable-2" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Drop here</p> </span> <span id = "droppable-3" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>I m disabled, you can t drop here!</p> </span> <span id = "droppable-4" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Tolerance Touch!</p> </span> <span id = "droppable-5" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Tolerance Fit!</p> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dropexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Now drop the element on the "Tolerance Touch!" box (just touch the edge of this box) and see the changes of target element. Now to drop the element on "Tolerance Fit!" target, the draggable element has to fully overlap the target element i.e "Tolerance Fit!" target.
Choose elements to be dropped
The following example demonstrates the use of option accept and scope option in the drag function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Droppable - Default functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> .wrap { display: table-row-group; } #japanpeople,#indiapeople, #javatutorial,#springtutorial { width: 120px; height: 70px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 0px 5px 10px 0; } #japan,#india,#java,#spring { width: 140px; height: 100px;padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#japanpeople" ).draggable(); $( "#indiapeople" ).draggable(); $( "#japan" ).droppable({ accept: "#japanpeople", drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); } }); $( "#india" ).droppable({ accept: "#indiapeople", drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); } }); $( "#javatutorial" ).draggable({scope : "java"}); $( "#springtutorial" ).draggable({scope : "spring"}); $( "#java" ).droppable({ scope: "java", drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); } }); $( "#spring" ).droppable({ scope: "spring", drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <span class = "wrap" > <span id = "japanpeople" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>People to be dropped to Japan</p> </span> <span id = "indiapeople" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>People to be dropped to India</p> </span> <span id = "japan" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Japan</p> </span> <span id = "india" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>India</p> </span> </span> <hr/> <span class = "wrap" > <span id = "javatutorial" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>People who want to learn Java</p> </span> <span id = "springtutorial" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>People who want to learn Spring</p> </span> <span id = "java" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Java</p> </span> <span id = "spring" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Spring</p> </span> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dropexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now you can play with the output −
Here you can see that you can drop element "People from Japan" on only "Japan" target and element "People from India" on target India. Similary the scope for "People who want to learn Java" is set to target "Java" and "People who want to learn Spring" is set to "Spring target".
Managing appearance
The following example demonstrates the use of options activeClass and hoverClass of JqueryUI class, which help us manage appearance.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Droppable - Default functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style type = "text/css"> #draggable-3 { width: 100px; height: 50px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 21px 5px 10px 0; } #droppable-6 { width: 120px; height: 90px;padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px; } .active { border-color : blue; background : grey; } .hover { border-color : red; background : green; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#draggable-3" ).draggable(); $( "#droppable-6" ).droppable({ activeClass: "active", hoverClass: "hover", drop: function( event, ui ) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <span id = "draggable-3" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>Drag me to my target</p> </span> <span id = "droppable-6" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Drop here</p> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dropexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output −
You can notice that on dragging or hovering (over the target) of "Drag me to my target" element, changes the color of target element "Drop here".
$ (selector, context).droppable ("action", params) Method
The droppable ("action", params) method can perform an action on droppable elements, such as preventing droppable functionapty. The action is specified as a string in the first argument (e.g., "disable" to prevent the drop). Check out the actions that can be passed, in the following table.
Syntax
$(selector, context).droppable ("action", params);;
The following table psts the different actions that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This action destroys the droppable functionapty of an element completely. The elements return to their pre-init state. |
2 | This action disables the droppable operation. The elements are no longer droppable elements. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action reactivate the droppable operation. The elements can again receive a droppable element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | This action gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current droppable options hash. This method does not accept any arguments. |
5 | This action gets the value of currently associated droppable element with the specified optionName. This takes a String value as argument. |
6 | This action sets the value of the droppable option associated with the specified optionName. |
7 | This action is sets one or more options for the droppable. The argument options is a map of option-value pairs to be set. |
8 | This action returns a jQuery object containing the droppable element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
Example
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of destroy() method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Droppable - Default functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> .draggable-4 { width: 90px; height: 50px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 0px 5px 10px 0; border: 1px sopd red; background-color:#B9CD6D; } .droppable-7 { width: 100px; height: 90px;padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px; border: 1px sopd black; background-color:#A39480; } .droppable.active { background-color: red; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( .draggable-4 ).draggable({ revert: true }); $( .droppable-7 ).droppable({ hoverClass: active , drop: function(e, ui) { $(this).html(ui.draggable.remove().html()); $(this).droppable( destroy ); $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "i m destroyed!" ); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <span class = "draggable-4"><p>drag 1</p></span> <span class = "draggable-4"><p>drag 2</p></span> <span class = "draggable-4"><p>drag 3</p></span> <span style = "clear: both;padding:10px"></span> <span class = "droppable-7">drop here</span> <span class = "droppable-7">drop here</span> <span class = "droppable-7">drop here</span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dropexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output −
If you drop "drag1" on any of the elements named "drop here", you will notice that this element gets dropped and this action destroys the droppable functionapty of an element completely. You cannot drop "drag2" and "drag3" on this element again.
Event Management on droppable elements
In addition to the droppable (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when the accepted draggable element starts dragging. This can be useful if you want to make the droppable "pght up" when it can be dropped on. |
2 | This event is triggered when a droppable element is created. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
3 | This event is triggered when an accepted draggable stops dragging. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
4 | This action is triggered when an element is dropped on the droppable. This is based on the tolerance option. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
5 | This event is triggered when an accepted draggable element is dragged out of the droppable. This is based on the tolerance option. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
6 | This event is triggered when an accepted draggable element is dragged over the droppable. This is based on the tolerance option. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage during drop functionapty. This example demonstrates the use of events drop, over and out.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Droppable - Default functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #draggable-5 { width: 100px; height: 50px; padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 22px 5px 10px 0; } #droppable-8 { width: 120px; height: 90px;padding: 0.5em; float: left; margin: 10px; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#draggable-5" ).draggable(); $("#droppable-8").droppable({ drop: function (event, ui) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "Dropped!" ); }, over: function (event, ui) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "moving in!" ); }, out: function (event, ui) { $( this ) .addClass( "ui-state-highpght" ) .find( "p" ) .html( "moving out!" ); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <span id = "draggable-5" class = "ui-widget-content"> <p>Drag me to my target</p> </span> <span id = "droppable-8" class = "ui-widget-header"> <p>Drop here</p> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file dropexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output −
Here you will notice how the message in the droppable element changes as you drag the element.
JqueryUI - Resizable
jQueryUI provides resizable() method to resize any DOM element. This method simppfies the resizing of element which otherwise takes time and lot of coding in HTML. The resizable () method displays an icon in the bottom right of the item to resize.
Syntax
The resizable() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).resizable (options) Method
The resizable (options) method declares that an HTML element can be resized. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior of the elements involved when resizing.
Syntax
$(selector, context).resizable (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time of using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).resizable({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option is of type Selector, jQuery , or any DOM Element. It represents elements that also resize when resizing the original object. By default its value is false. |
2 | This option when set to true is used to enable a visual effect during resizing when the mouse button is released. The default value is false (no effect). |
3 | This option is used to set the duration (in milpseconds) of the resizing effect. This option is used only when animate option is true. By default its value is "slow". |
4 | This option is used to specify which easing to apply when using the animate option. By default its value is "swing". |
5 | This option is used to indicate whether to keep the aspect (height and width) ratio for the item. By default its value is false. |
6 | This option is used to hide the magnification icon or handles, except when the mouse is over the item. By default its value is false. |
7 | This option is used to prevent resizing on specified elements. By default its value is input,textarea,button,select,option. |
8 | This option is used restrict the resizing of elements within a specified element or region. By default its value is false. |
9 | This option is used to set tolerance or delay in milpseconds. Resizing or displacement will begin thereafter. By default its value is 0. |
10 | This option disables the resizing mechanism when set to true. The mouse no longer resizes elements, until the mechanism is enabled, using the resizable ("enable"). By default its value is false. |
11 | With this option, the resizing starts only when the mouse moves a distance(pixels). By default its value is 1 pixel. This can help prevent unintended resizing when cpcking on an element. |
12 | This option when set to true, a semi-transparent helper element is shown for resizing. This ghost item will be deleted when the mouse is released. By default its value is false. |
13 | This option is of type Array [x, y], indicating the number of pixels that the element expands horizontally and vertically during movement of the mouse. By default its value is false. |
14 | This option is a character string indicating which sides or angles of the element can be resized. By default its values are e, s, se. |
15 | This option is used to add a CSS class to style the element to be resized. When the element is resized a new <span> element is created, which is the one that is scaled (ui-resizable-helper class). Once the resize is complete, the original element is sized and the <span> element disappears. By default its value is false. |
16 | This option is used to set the maximum height the resizable should be allowed to resize to. By default its value is null. |
17 | This option is used to set the maximum width the resizable should be allowed to resize to. By default its value is null. |
18 | This option is used to set the minimum height the resizable should be allowed to resize to. By default its value is 10. |
19 | This option is used to set the minimum width the resizable should be allowed to resize to. By default its value is 10. |
The following section will show you few a working examples of resize functionapty.

2 | This action disables the resizing functionapty of an element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action enables the resizing functionapty of an element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | This action retrieves the value of the specified optionName. This option corresponds to one of those used with resizable (options). |
5 | Gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current resizable options hash. This does not accept any arguments. |
6 | This action sets the value of the resizable option with the specified optionName. This option corresponds to one of those used with resizable (options). |
7 | This action sets one or more options for the resizable. |
8 | This action returns a jQuery object containing the resizable element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
Example
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of destroy() and disable() methods.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Resizable functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style> .ui-widget-header { background:#b9cd6d; border: 1px sopd #b9cd6d; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; } .ui-widget-content { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } #resizable-12,#resizable-13 { width: 150px; height: 150px; padding: 0.5em;text-apgn: center; margin: 0; } </style> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#resizable-12" ).resizable(); $( "#resizable-12" ).resizable( disable ); $( "#resizable-13" ).resizable(); $( "#resizable-13" ).resizable( destroy ); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "resizable-12" class = "ui-widget-content"> <h3 class = "ui-widget-header">I m disable!!</h3> </span><br> <span id = "resizable-13" class = "ui-widget-content"> <h3 class = "ui-widget-header">I m Destroyed!!</h3> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file resizeexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output −
You cannot resize the first square box as its disabled and the second square box is destroyed.
Event Management on resizable elements
In addition to the resizable (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when the resizable element is created. |
2 | This event is triggered when the handler of resizable element is dragged. |
3 | This event is triggered at the start of a resize operation. |
4 | This event is triggered at the end of a resize operation. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage during resize functionapty. This example demonstrates the use of events create, and resize.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Resizable functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style> .ui-widget-header { background:#b9cd6d; border: 1px sopd #b9cd6d; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; } .ui-widget-content { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } #resizable-14{ width: 150px; height: 150px; padding: 0.5em;text-apgn: center; margin: 0; } </style> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#resizable-14" ).resizable({ create: function( event, ui ) { $("#resizable-15").text ("I m Created!!"); }, resize: function (event, ui) { $("#resizable-16").text ("top = " + ui.position.top + ", left = " + ui.position.left + ", width = " + ui.size.width + ", height = " + ui.size.height); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "resizable-14" class = "ui-widget-content"> <h3 class = "ui-widget-header">Resize !!</h3> </span><br> <span id = "resizable-15"></span><br> <span id = "resizable-16"></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file resizeexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, should must see the following output −
Drag the square box and you will see the output getting displayed on resize event.
JqueryUI - Selectable
jQueryUI provides selectable() method to select DOM element inspanidually or in a group. With this method elements can be selected by dragging a box (sometimes called a lasso) with the mouse over the elements. Also, elements can be selected by cpcking or dragging while holding the Ctrl/Meta key, allowing for multiple (non-contiguous) selections.
Syntax
The selectable() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).selectable (options) Method
The selectable (options) method declares that an HTML element contains selectable items. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior of the elements involved when selecting.
Syntax
$(selector, context).selectable (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided, then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).selectable({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option is tells which element the selection helper (the lasso) should be appended to. By default its value is body. |
2 | This option if set to true, the position and size of each selectable item is computed at the beginning of a select operation. By default its value is true. |
3 | This option forbids selecting if you start selection of elements. By default its value is input,textarea,button,select,option. |
4 | This option is used to set time in milpseconds and defines when the selecting should start. This can be used to prevent unwanted selections. By default its value is 0. |
5 | This option when set to true, disables the selection mechanism. Users cannot select the elements until the mechanism is restored using the selectable ("enable") instruction. By default its value is false. |
6 | This option is the distance (in pixels) the mouse must move to consider the selection in progress. This is useful, for example, to prevent simple cpcks from being interpreted as a group selection. By default its value is 0. |
7 | This option is a selector indicating which elements can be part of the selection. By default its value is *. |
8 | This option specifies which mode to use for testing whether the selection helper (the lasso) should select an item. By default its value is touch. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of selectable functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of selectable functionapty, passing no parameters to the selectable() method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI selectable-1</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #selectable-1 .ui-selecting { background: #707070 ; } #selectable-1 .ui-selected { background: #EEEEEE; color: #000000; } #selectable-1 { pst-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 20%; } #selectable-1 p { margin: 3px; padding: 0.4em; font-size: 16px; height: 18px; } .ui-widget-content { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#selectable-1" ).selectable(); }); </script> </head> <body> <ol id = "selectable-1"> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 1</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 2</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 3</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 4</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 5</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 6</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 7</p> </ol> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file selectableexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Try to cpck on products, use CTRLS key to select multiple products.
Use of Delay and Distance
The following example demonstrates the usage of two options delay and distance in the selectable function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Selectable</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #selectable-2 .ui-selecting,#selectable-3 .ui-selecting { background: #707070 ; } #selectable-2 .ui-selected,#selectable-3 .ui-selected { background: #EEEEEE; color: #000000; } #selectable-2,#selectable-3 { pst-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 20%; } #selectable-2 p,#selectable-3 p { margin: 3px; padding: 0.4em; font-size: 16px; height: 18px; } .ui-widget-content { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#selectable-2" ).selectable({ delay : 1000 }); $( "#selectable-3" ).selectable({ distance : 100 }); }); </script> </head> <body> <h3>Starts after delay of 1000ms</h3> <ol id = "selectable-2"> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 1</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 2</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 3</p> </ol> <h3>Starts after mouse moves distance of 100px</h3> <ol id = "selectable-3"> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 4</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 5</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 6</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 7</p> </ol> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file selectableexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Try to cpck on products, use CTRL key to select multiple products. You will notice that selection of the Product 1, Product 2 and Product 3 start after a delay of 1000ms. Selection of the Product 4, Product 5, Product 6 and Product 7 can t be done inspanidually. The selection starts only after the mouse moves a distance of 100px.
Use of Filter
The following example demonstrates the usage of two options delay and distance in the selectable function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI selectable-4</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #selectable-4 .ui-selecting { background: #707070 ; } #selectable-4 .ui-selected { background: #EEEEEE; color: #000000; } #selectable-4 { pst-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 20%; } #selectable-4 p { margin: 3px; padding: 0.4em; font-size: 16px; height: 18px; } .ui-widget-content { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#selectable-4" ).selectable({ filter : "p:first-child" }); }); </script> </head> <body> <ol id = "selectable-4"> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 1</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 2</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 3</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 4</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 5</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 6</p> <p class = "ui-widget-content">Product 7</p> </ol> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file selectableexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Try to cpck on products. You will notice that only first product can be selected.
$ (selector, context).selectable ("action", params) Method
The selectable ("action", params) method can perform an action on selectable elements, such as preventing selectable functionapty. The action is specified as a string in the first argument (e.g., "disable" to stop the selection). Check out the actions that can be passed, in the following table.
Syntax
$(selector, context).selectable ("action", params);;
The following table psts the different actions that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This action removes the selectable functionapty of an element completely. The elements return to their pre-init state. |
2 | This action deactivates the selectable functionapty of an element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action enables the selectable functionapty of an element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | This action gets the value currently associated with the specified optionName. |
5 | This action gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current selectable options hash. |
6 | This action sets the value of the selectable option associated with the specified optionName. The argument optionName is name of the option to be set and value is the value to be set for the option. |
7 | This action is sets one or more options for the selectable. The argument options is a map of option-value pairs to be set. |
8 | This action causes the size and position of the selectable elements to be refreshed. Used mostly when the autoRefresh option is disabled (set to false). This method does not accept any arguments. |
9 | This action returns a jQuery object containing the selectable element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
Example
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of disable() and option( optionName, value ) methods.

Try to cpck on products, use CTRL key to select multiple products. You will notice that Product 1, Product 2, and Product 3 are disabled. Selection of Product 4, Product 5, Product 6 and Product 7 happens after the mouse moves distance of 1px.
Event Management on Selectable Elements
In addition to the selectable (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when the selectable element is created. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
2 | This event is triggered for each element that becomes selected. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
3 | This event is triggered for each selectable element that’s about to get selected. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
4 | This event is triggered at the beginning of the select operation. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
5 | This event is triggered at the end of the select operation. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
6 | This event is triggered at the end of the select operation for each element that becomes unselected. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
7 | This event is triggered during select operation for each selected element that’s about to become unselected. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |

JqueryUI - Sortable
jQueryUI provides sortable() method to reorder elements in pst or grid using the mouse. This method performs sortabipty action based upon an operation string passed as the first parameter.
Syntax
The sortable () method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).sortable (options) Method
The sortable (options) method declares that an HTML element contains interchangeable elements. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior of the elements involved during reordering.
Syntax
$(selector, context).sortable(options);
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option specifies the element in which the new element created with options.helper will be inserted during the time of the move/drag. By default its value is parent. |
2 | This option indicates an axis of movement ("x" is horizontal, "y" is vertical). By default its value is false. |
3 | This option is used to prevent sorting of elements by cpcking on any of the selector elements. By default its value is "input,textarea,button,select,option". |
4 | This option is a Selector that identifies another sortable element that can accept items from this sortable. This allows items from one pst to be moved to other psts, a frequent and useful user interaction. If omitted, no other element is connected. This is a one-way relationship. By default its value is false. |
5 | This option indicates an element within which the displacement takes place. The element will be represented by a selector (only the first item in the pst will be considered), a DOM element, or the string "parent" (parent element) or "window" (HTML page). |
6 | Specifies the cursor CSS property when the element moves. It represents the shape of the mouse pointer. By default its value is "auto". |
7 | Sets the offset of the dragging helper relative to the mouse cursor. Coordinates can be given as a hash using a combination of one or two keys: { top, left, right, bottom }. By default its value is "false". |
8 | Delay, in milpseconds, after which the first movement of the mouse is taken into account. The displacement may begin after that time. By default its value is "0". |
9 | This option if set to true, disables the sortable functionapty. By default its value is false. |
10 | Number of pixels that the mouse must be moved before the sorting starts. If specified, sorting will not start until after mouse is dragged beyond distance. By default its value is "1". |
11 | This option if set to false, then items from this sortable can t be dropped on an empty connect sortable. By default its value is true. |
12 | If this option if set to true forces the helper to have a size. By default its value is false. |
13 | This option when set to true, takes into account the size of the placeholder when an item is moved. This option is only useful if options.placeholder is initiapzed. By default its value is false. |
14 | This option is an Array [x, y] indicating the number of pixels that the sorting element moves horizontally and vertically during displacement of the mouse. By default its value is false. |
15 | If specified, restricts sort from starting unless the mousedown occurs on the specified element(s). By default its value is false. |
16 | Allows for a helper element to be used for dragging display. By default its value is original. |
17 | This option specifies which items inside the DOM element to be sorted. By default its value is > *. |
18 | This option is used to define the opacity of the helper while sorting. By default its value is false. |
19 | This option is used to class name that gets appped to the otherwise white space.By default its value is false. |
20 | This option decides whether the sortable items should revert to their new positions using a smooth animation. By default its value is false. |
21 | This option is used to enable scrolpng. If set to true the page scrolls when coming to an edge. By default its value is true. |
22 | This option indicates how many pixels the mouse must exit the visible area to cause scrolpng. By default its value is 20. This option is used only with options.scroll set to true. |
23 | This option indicates the scrolpng speed of the display once the scrolpng begins. By default its value is 20. |
24 | This option is a String that specifies which mode to use for testing whether the item being moved is hovering over another item. By default its value is "intersect". |
25 | This option represents z-index for element/helper while being sorted. By default its value is 1000. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of drag functionapty.
Default functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of sortable functionapty, passing no parameters to the sortable() method.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file sortexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Re-arrange the products above, use mouse to drag items.
Use of Options Delay and Distance
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options (a) delay and (b) distance in the sort function of JqueryUI.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file sortexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Re-arrange the products above, use mouse to drag items. To prevent accidental sorting either by delay (time) or distance, we have set a number of milpseconds the element needs to be dragged before sorting starts with the delay option. We have also set a distance in pixels the element needs to be dragged before sorting starts with the distance option.
Use of Placeholder
The following example demonstrates the usage of three option placeholder in the sort function of JqueryUI.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>jQuery UI Sortable - Example</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #sortable-4 { pst-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 25%; } #sortable-4 p { margin: 0 3px 3px 3px; padding: 0.4em; padding-left: 1.5em; font-size: 17px; height: 16px; } .highpght { border: 1px sopd red; font-weight: bold; font-size: 45px; background-color: #333333; } .default { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#sortable-4" ).sortable({ placeholder: "highpght" }); }); </script> </head> <body> <ul id = "sortable-4"> <p class = "default">Product 1</p> <p class = "default">Product 2</p> <p class = "default">Product 3</p> <p class = "default">Product 4</p> <p class = "default">Product 5</p> <p class = "default">Product 6</p> <p class = "default">Product 7</p> </ul> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file sortexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Try to drag items to rearrange them, while you re dragging items, the placeholder (we have used highpght class to style this space) will show up on an available place.
Use of Options Connectwith and Droponempty
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options (a) connectWith and (b) dropOnEmpty in the sort function of JqueryUI.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>jQuery UI Sortable - Example</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #sortable-5, #sortable-6,#sortable-7 { pst-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 20%;float:left } #sortable-5 p, #sortable-6 p,#sortable-7 p { margin: 0 3px 3px 3px; padding: 0.4em; padding-left: 1.5em; font-size: 17px; height: 16px; } .default { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#sortable-5, #sortable-6" ).sortable({ connectWith: "#sortable-5, #sortable-6" }); $( "#sortable-7").sortable({ connectWith: "#sortable-5", dropOnEmpty: false }); }); </script> </head> <body> <ul id = "sortable-5"><h3>List 1</h3> <p class = "default">A</p> <p class = "default">B</p> <p class = "default">C</p> <p class = "default">D</p> </ul> <ul id = "sortable-6"><h3>List 2</h3> <p class = "default">a</p> <p class = "default">b</p> <p class = "default">c</p> <p class = "default">d</p> </ul> <ul id = "sortable-7"><h3>List 3</h3> <p class = "default">e</p> <p class = "default">f</p> <p class = "default">g</p> <p class = "default">h</p> </ul> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file sortexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Sort items from one List1 into another (List2) and vice versa, by passing a selector into the connectWith option. This is done by grouping all related psts with a CSS class, and then pass that class into the sortable function (i.e., connectWith: #sortable-5, #sortable-6 ).
Try to drag the items under List 3 to the List 2 or List 1. As we have set dropOnEmpty option to false, it won t be possible to drop these items.
$ (selector, context).sortable ("action", [params]) Method
The sortable (action, params) method can perform an action on the sortable elements, such as to prevent displacement. The action is specified as a string in the first argument and optionally, one or more params can be provided based on the given action.
Basically, here actions are nothing but they are jQuery methods which we can use in the form of string.
Syntax
$(selector, context).sortable ("action", [params]);
The following table psts the actions for this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This action cancels the current sort operation. This is most useful within handlers for the sort receive and sort stop events. This method does not accept any arguments. |
2 | This action removes the sortabipty functionapty completely. This will return the element back to its pre-init state. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action disables the sortabipty of any sortable elements in the wrapped set. The sortabipty of the elements isn’t removed and can be restored by calpng the enable variant of this method. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | Re-enables sortabipty on any sortable elements in the wrapped set whose sortabipty has been disabled. Note that this method won’t add sortabipty to any non-sortable elements. This method does not accept any arguments. |
5 | This action gets the value currently associated with the specified optionName. Where optionName is the name of the option to get. |
6 | Gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current sortable options hash.. This method does not accept any arguments. |
7 | This action sets the value of the sortable option associated with the specified optionName. Where optionName is the name of the option to set and value is the value to set for the option. |
8 | Sets one or more options for the sortable. Where options is a map of option-value pairs to set. |
9 | This action refreshes the pst of items if necessary. This method does not accept any arguments. Calpng this method will cause new items added to the sortable to be recognized. |
10 | This method returns an array of the id values of the sortable elements in sorted order. This method takes Options as parameter, to customize the seriapzation or sorted order. |
11 | This method returns a seriapzed query string (submittable via Ajax) formed from the sortable. |
12 | This method is used mostly internally to refresh the cached information of the sortable. This method does not accept any arguments. |
13 | This method returns a jQuery object containing the sortable element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
Example
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of toArray( options ) method.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>jQuery UI Sortable - Example</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #sortable-8{ pst-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 25%; float:left;} #sortable-8 p{ margin: 0 3px 3px 3px; padding: 0.4em; padding-left: 1.5em; font-size: 17px; height: 16px; } .default { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( #sortable-8 ).sortable({ update: function(event, ui) { var productOrder = $(this).sortable( toArray ).toString(); $("#sortable-9").text (productOrder); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <ul id = "sortable-8"> <p id = "1" class = "default">Product 1</p> <p id = "2" class = "default">Product 2</p> <p id = "3" class = "default">Product 3</p> <p id = "4" class = "default">Product 4</p> </ul> <br> <h3><span id = "sortable-9"></span></h3> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file sortexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Try sorting the items, the order of items is displayed at the bottom. Here we are calpng $(this).sortable( toArray ).toString(), which will give a string pst of all the item id s, it might look pke 1,2,3,4.
Event Management on The Sortable Elements
In addition to the sortable (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods as which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered on the sortable when a sort operation starts on connected sortable. |
2 | This event is triggered when the sort operation is about to end, with the helper and placeholder element reference still vapd. |
3 | This event is triggered when the sorted element changes position within the DOM. |
4 | This event is triggered when the sortable is created. |
5 | This event is triggered when a connected sort stops, propagated to the connected sortable. |
6 | This event is triggered when the sort item is moved away from a connected pst. |
7 | This event is triggered when a sort item moves into a connected pst. |
8 | This event is triggered when a connected pst has received a sort item from another pst. |
9 | This event is triggered when the sort item is removed from a connected pst and is dragged into another. |
10 | This event is repeatedly triggered for mousemove events during a sort operation. |
11 | This event is triggered when a sort operation starts. |
12 | This event is triggered when a sort operation has concluded. |
13 | This event is triggered when a sort operation stops and the position of the item has been changed. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage during drop functionapty. This example demonstrates the use of events receive, start and stop.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>jQuery UI Sortable - Example</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> #sortable-10, #sortable-11 { pst-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 80%; } #sortable-10 p, #sortable-11 p { margin: 0 3px 3px 3px; padding: 0.4em; padding-left: 1.5em; font-size: 17px; height: 16px; } .highpght { border: 1px sopd #000000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 45px; background-color: #cedc98; } .default { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; } .wrap { display: table-row-group; } .wrap1 { float:left; width: 100px; } </style> <script> $(function() { $( "#sortable-10" ).sortable({ start: function (event, ui) { $("span#result").html ($("span#result").html () + "<b>start</b><br>"); }, receive : function (event, ui) { $("span#result").html ($("span#result").html () + ", receive"); }, stop: function (event, ui) { $("span#result").html ($("span#result").html () + "<b>stop</b><br>"); } }); $( "#sortable-11" ).sortable({ connectWith : "#sortable-10, #sortable-11" }); }); </script> </head> <body> <span class = "wrap"> <span class = "wrap1"> <h3>List 1</h3> <ul id = "sortable-10"> <p class = "default">A</p> <p class = "default">B</p> <p class = "default">C</p> <p class = "default">D</p> </ul> </span> <span class = "wrap1"> <h3>List 2</h3> <ul id = "sortable-11"> <p class = "default">a</p> <p class = "default">b</p> <p class = "default">c</p> <p class = "default">d</p> </ul> </span> </span> <hr /> <span id = result></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file sortexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Try sorting the items in List 1, you will see the message getting displayed at the start and stop of event. Now drop items from List 2 to List 1, again a message gets displayed on the receive event.
JqueryUI - Accordion
Accordion Widget in jQueryUI is a jQuery based expandable and collapsible content holder that is broken into sections and probably looks pke tabs. jQueryUI provides accordion() method to achieve this.
Syntax
The accordion() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).accordion (options) Method
The accordion (options) method declares that an HTML element and its contents should be treated and managed as accordion menus. The options parameter is an object that specifies the appearance and behavior of the menu involved.
Syntax
$(selector, context).accordion (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).accordion({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | Indicates the index of the menu that is open when the page is first accessed. By default its value is 0, i.e the first menu. |
2 | This option is used to set how to animate changing panels. By default its value is {}. |
3 | This option when set to true, it allows users to close a menu by cpcking on it. By default, cpcks on the open panel’s header have no effect. By default its value is false. |
4 | This option when set to true disables the accordion. By default its value is false. |
5 | This option specifies the event used to select an accordion header. By default its value is cpck. |
6 | This option specifies a selector or element to override the default pattern for identifying the header elements. By default its value is > p > :first-child,> :not(p):even. |
7 | This option is used to control the height of accordion and panels. By default its value is auto. |
8 | This option is an object that defines the icons to use to the left of the header text for opened and closed panels. The icon to use for closed panels is specified as a property named header, whereas the icon to use for open panels is specified as a property named headerSelected. By default its value is { "header": "ui-icon-triangle-1-e", "activeHeader": "ui-icon-triangle-1-s" }. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of accordion widget functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of accordion widget functionapty, passing no parameters to the accordion() method.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file accordionexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Cpck headers(Tab 1,Tab 2,Tab 3) to expand/collapse content that is broken into logical sections, much pke tabs.
Use of collapsible
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options collapsible in the accordion widget of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Accordion Example </title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $( "#accordion-2" ).accordion({ collapsible: true }); }); </script> <style> #accordion-2{font-size: 14px;} </style> </head> <body> <span id = "accordion-2"> <h3>Tab 1</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file accordionexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Here we have set collapsible to true. Cpck on an accordion header, this allows collapsing the active section.
Use of heightStyle
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options heightStyle in the accordion widget of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Accordion Example </title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $( "#accordion-3" ).accordion({ heightStyle: "content" }); $( "#accordion-4" ).accordion({ heightStyle: "fill" }); }); </script> <style> #accordion-3, #accordion-4{font-size: 14px;} </style> </head> <body> <h3>Height style-content</h3> <span style = "height:250px"> <span id = "accordion-3"> <h3>Tab 1</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua. </p> <ul> <p>List item one</p> <p>List item two</p> <p>List item three</p> <p>List item four</p> <p>List item five</p> </ul> </span> <h3>Tab 2</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua. </p> </span> <h3>Tab 3</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua. </p> </span> </span> </span><br><br> <h3>Height style-Fill</h3> <span style = "height:250px"> <span id = "accordion-4"> <h3>Tab 1</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua. </p> <ul> <p>List item one</p> <p>List item two</p> <p>List item three</p> <p>List item four</p> <p>List item five</p> </ul> </span> <h3>Tab 2</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua. </p> </span> <h3>Tab 3</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua. </p> </span> </span> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file accordionexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Here we have two accordions, the first one has heightStyle option set to content, which allows the accordion panels to keep their native height. Second accordion has heightStyle option set to fill, the script will automatically set the dimensions of the accordion to the height of its parent container.
$ (selector, context).accordion ("action", params) Method
The accordion ("action", params) method can perform an action on accordion elements, such as selecting/de-selecting the accordion menu. The action is specified as a string in the first argument (e.g., "disable" disables all menus). Check out the actions that can be passed, in the following table.
Syntax
$(selector, context).accordion ("action", params);;
The following table psts the different actions that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This action destroys the accordion functionapty of an element completely. The elements return to their pre-init state. |
2 | This action disable all menus. No cpck will be taken into account. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action reactivate all menus. The cpcks are again considered. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | This action gets the value of currently associated accordion element with the specified optionName. This takes a String value as argument. |
5 | This action gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current accordion options hash. |
6 | This action sets the value of the accordion option associated with the specified optionName. |
7 | This action sets one or more options for the accordion. |
8 | This action processes any headers and panels that were added or removed directly in the DOM. It then recomputes the height of the accordion panels. Results depend on the content and the heightStyle option. This method does not accept any arguments. |
9 | This action returns the accordion widget element; the one annotated with the ui-accordion class name. |
Example
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of option( optionName, value ) method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Accordion Example </title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $( "#accordion-5" ).accordion({ disabled: false }); $("input").each(function () { $(this).change(function () { if ($(this).attr("id") == "disableaccordion") { $("#accordion-5").accordion("option", "disabled", true); } else { $("#accordion-5").accordion("option", "disabled", false); } }); }); }); </script> <style> #accordion-5{font-size: 14px;} </style> </head> <body> <span id = "accordion-5"> <h3>Tab 1</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file accordionexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
Here we demonstrate enabpng and disabpng of the accordions. Select the respective radio buttons to check each action.
Event Management on accordion elements
In addition to the accordion (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when a menu is activated. This event is only fired on panel activation, it is not fired for the initial panel when the accordion widget is created. |
2 | This event is triggered before a panel is activated. This event can be canceled to prevent the panel from activating. |
3 | This event is triggered when the accordion is created. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage in accordion widgets. This example demonstrates the use of events create, beforeActive and active.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Accordion Example </title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $( "#accordion-6" ).accordion({ create: function (event, ui) { $("span#result").html ($("span#result").html () + "<b>Created</b><br>"); }, beforeActivate : function (event, ui) { $("span#result").html ($("span#result").html () + ", <b>beforeActivate</b><br>"); }, activate: function (event, ui) { $("span#result").html ($("span#result").html () + "<b>activate</b><br>"); } }); }); </script> <style> #accordion-6{font-size: 14px;} </style> </head> <body> <span id = "accordion-6"> <h3>Tab 1</h3> <span> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file accordionexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
Here we are displaying a text at the bottom, based on events.
JqueryUI - Autocomplete
Auto completion is a mechanism frequently used in modern websites to provide the user with a pst of suggestions for the beginning of the word, which he/she has typed in a text box. The user can then select an item from the pst, which will be displayed in the input field. This feature prevents the user from having to enter an entire word or a set of words.
JQueryUI provides an autocomplete widget — a control that acts a lot pke a <select> dropdown, but filters the choices to present only those that match what the user is typing into a control. jQueryUI provides the autocomplete() method to create a pst of suggestions below the input field and adds new CSS classes to the elements concerned to give them the appropriate style.
Syntax
The autocomplete() method can be used in two forms −
Method

$ (selector, context).autocomplete (options) Method
The autocomplete (options) method declares that an HTML <input> element must be managed as an input field that will be displayed above a pst of suggestions. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior of the pst of suggestions when the user is typing in the input field.
Syntax
$(selector, context).autocomplete (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).autocomplete({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option is used append an element to the menu. By default its value is null. |
2 | This option when set to true, the first item of the menu will automatically be focused when the menu is shown. By default its value is false. |
3 | This option is an Integer representing number of milpseconds to wait before trying to obtain the matching values (as specified by the source option). This can help reduce thrashing when non-local data is being obtained by giving the user time to enter more characters before the search is initiated. By default its value is 300. |
4 | This option if specified and true, the autocomplete widget is initially disabled. By default its value is false. |
5 | The number of characters that must be entered before trying to obtain the matching values (as specified by the source option). This can prevent too large a value set from being presented when a few characters isn’t enough to whittle the set down to a reasonable level. By default its value is 1. |
6 | This option identifies the position of the suggestions menu in relation to the associated input element. The of option defaults to the input element, but you can specify another element to position against. By default its value is { my: "left top", at: "left bottom", colpsion: "none" }. |
7 | This option specifies the manner in which the data that matches the input data is obtained. A value must be provided or the autocomplete widget won’t be created. By default its value is none; must be specified. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of autocomplete widget functionapty.

Extension Points
The autocomplete widget can be extended as its built with the widget factory. When extending widgets, you have the abipty to override or add to the behavior of existing methods. The following table psts methods that act as extension points with the same API stabipty as the plugin methods psted
.Sr.No. | Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This method controls the creation of each option in the widget s menu. This method creates a new <p> element, appends it to the menu and return it. |
2 | This method controls building the widget s menu. |
3 | This method controls sizing the menu before it is displayed.The menu element is available at this.menu.element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
Event Management on Autocomplete Elements
In addition to the autocomplete (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when the value of the <input> element is changed based upon a selection. When triggered, this event will always come after the close event is triggered. |
2 | This event is triggered whenever the autocomplete menu closes. |
3 | This event is triggered when the autocomplete is created. |
4 | This event is triggered whenever one of the menu choices receives focus. Unless canceled (for example, by returning false), the focused value is set into the <input> element. |
5 | This event is triggered after the data has been readied and the menu is about to open. |
6 | This event is triggered after a search completes, before the menu is shown. This event is always triggered when a search completes, even if the menu will not be shown because there are no results or the Autocomplete is disabled. |
7 | This event is triggered after any delay and minLength criteria have been met, just before the mechanism specified by source is activated. If canceled, the search operation is aborted. |
8 | This event is triggered when a value is selected from the autocomplete menu. Cancepng this event prevents the value from being set into the <input> element (but doesn’t prevent the menu from closing). |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage in autocomplete widgets. This example demonstrates the use of events focus, and select.

JqueryUI - Button
jQueryUI provides button() method to transform the HTML elements (pke buttons, inputs and anchors) into themeable buttons, with automatic management of mouse movements on them, all managed transparently by jQuery UI.
In order to group radio buttons, Button also provides an additional widget, called Buttonset. Buttonset is used by selecting a container element (which contains the radio buttons) and calpng .buttonset().
Syntax
The button() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).button (options) Method
The button (options) method declares that an HTML element should be treated as button. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior and appearance of the button.
Syntax
$(selector, context).button (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).button({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option deactivates the button is set to true. By default its value is false. |
2 | This option specifies that one or two icons are to be displayed in the button: primary icons to the left, secondary icons to the right. The primary icon is identified by the primary property of the object, and the secondary icon is identified by the secondary property. By default its value is primary: null, secondary: null. |
3 | This option specifies text to display on the button that overrides the natural label. If omitted, the natural label for the element is displayed. In the case of radio buttons and checkboxes, the natural label is the <label> element associated with the control. By default its value is null. |
4 | This option specifies whether text is to be displayed on the button. If specified as false, text is suppressed if (and only if) the icons option specifies at least one icon. By default its value is true. |
Default Functionapty

JqueryUI - Datepicker
Datepickers in jQueryUI allow users to enter dates easily and visually. You can customize the date format and language, restrict the selectable date ranges and add in buttons and other navigation options easily.
jQueryUI provides datepicker() method that creates a datepicker and changes the appearance of HTML elements on a page by adding new CSS classes. Transforms the <input>, <span>, and <span> elements in the wrapped set into a datepicker control.
By default, for <input> elements, the datepicker calendar opens in a small overlay when the associated text field gains focus. For an inpne calendar, simply attach the datepicker to a <span>, or <span> element.
Syntax
The datepicker() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).datepicker (options) Method
The datepicker (options) method declares that an <input> element (or <span>, or <span>, depending on how you choose to display the calendar) should be managed as a datepicker. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior and appearance of the datepicker elements.Syntax
$(selector, context).datepicker(options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).datepicker({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option specifies a jQuery selector for a field that is also updated with any date selections. The altFormat option can be used to set the format for this value. This is quite useful for setting date values into a hidden input element to be submitted to the server, while displaying a more user-friendly format to the user. By default its value is "". |
2 | This option is used when an altField option is specified. It provides the format for the value to be written to the alternate element. By default its value is "". |
3 | This option is a String value to be placed after the <input> element, intended to show instructions to the user. By default its value is "". |
4 | This option when set to true resizes the <input> element to accommodate the datepicker’s date format as set with the dateFormat option. By default its value is false. |
5 | This option is a callback function that’s invoked just before a datepicker is displayed, with the <input> element and datepicker instance passed as parameters. This function can return an options hash used to modify the datepicker. By default its value is "". |
6 | This option is a callback function which takes a date as parameter, that’s invoked for each day in the datepicker just before it’s displayed, with the date passed as the only parameter. This can be used to override some of the default behavior of the day elements. This function must return a three-element array.By default its value is null. |
7 | This option specifies the path to an image to be displayed on the button enabled by setting the showOn option to one of buttons or both. If buttonText is also provided, the button text becomes the alt attribute of the button. By default its value is "". |
8 | This option if set to true, specifies that the image specified by buttonImage is to appear standalone (not on a button). The showOn option must still be set to one of button or both for the image to appear. By default its value is false. |
9 | This option specifies the caption for the button enabled by setting the showOn option to one of button or both. By default its value is "...". |
10 | This option is a custom function to calculate and return the week number for a date passed as the lone parameter. The default implementation is that provided by the $.datepicker.iso8601Week() utipty function. |
11 | This option if set to true, a month dropdown is displayed, allowing the user to directly change the month without using the arrow buttons to step through them. By default its value is false. |
12 | This option if set to true, a year dropdown is displayed, allowing the user to directly change the year without using the arrow buttons to step through them. Option yearRange can be used to control which years are made available for selection. By default its value is false. |

$ (selector, context).datepicker ("action", [params]) Method
The datepicker (action, params) method can perform an action on the calendar, such as such as selecting a new date. The action is specified as a string in the first argument and optionally, one or more params can be provided based on the given action.
Basically, here actions are nothing but they are jQuery methods which we can use in the form of string.
Syntax
$(selector, context).datepicker ("action", [params]);
The following table psts the actions for this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This action removes the datepicker functionapty completely. This will return the element back to its pre-init state. This method does not accept any arguments. |
2 | This action displays datepicker in a jQuery UI dialog box. |
3 | This action returns the Date corresponding to the selected date. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | This action closes the previously opened date picker. This method does not accept any arguments. |
5 | This action checks if the date picker funcitonapty is disabled. This method does not accept any arguments. |
6 | This action retrieves the value currently associated with the specified optionName. |
7 | This action gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current datepicker options hash. This method does not accept any arguments. |
8 | This action sets the value of the datepicker option associated with the specified optionName. |
9 | This action sets one or more options for the datepicker. |
10 | This action redraws the date picker, after having made some external modifications. This method does not accept any arguments. |
11 | This action sets the specified date as the current date of the datepicker. |

JqueryUI - Dialog
Dialog boxes are one of the nice ways of presenting information on an HTML page. A dialog box is a floating window with a title and content area. This window can be moved, resized, and of course, closed using "X" icon by default.
jQueryUI provides dialog() method that transforms the HTML code written on the page into HTML code to display a dialog box.
Syntax
The dialog() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).dialog (options) Method
The dialog (options) method declares that an HTML element can be administered in the form of a dialog box. The options parameter is an object that specifies the appearance and behavior of that window.Syntax
$(selector, context).dialog(options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).dialog({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | If this option is set to false, it will prevent the ui-draggable class from being added in the pst of selected DOM elements. By default its value is true. |
2 | This option unless set to false, the dialog box is opened upon creation. When false, the dialog box will be opened upon a call to dialog( open ). By default its value is true. |
3 | This option adds buttons in the dialog box. These are psted as objects, and each property is the text on the button. The value is a callback function called when the user cpcks the button. By default its value is {}. |
4 | Unless this option set to false, the dialog box will be closed when the user presses the Escape key while the dialog box has focus. By default its value is true. |
5 | This option contains text to replace the default of Close for the close button. By default its value is "close". |
6 | If this option is set to false, it will prevent the ui-draggable class from being added in the pst of selected DOM elements. By default its value is "". |
7 | Unless you this option to false, dialog box will be draggable by cpcking and dragging the title bar. By default its value is true. |
8 | This option sets the height of the dialog box. By default its value is "auto". |
9 | This option is used to set the effect to be used when the dialog box is closed. By default its value is null. |
11 | This option sets maximum height, in pixels, to which the dialog box can be resized. By default its value is false. |
12 | This option sets the maximum width to which the dialog can be resized, in pixels. By default its value is false. |
13 | This option is the minimum height, in pixels, to which the dialog box can be resized. By default its value is 150. |
14 | This option is the minimum width, in pixels, to which the dialog box can be resized. By default its value is 150. |
15 | If this option is set to true, the dialog will have modal behavior; other items on the page will be disabled, i.e., cannot be interacted with. Modal dialogs create an overlay below the dialog but above other page elements. By default its value is false. |
16 | This option specifies the initial position of the dialog box. Can be one of the predefined positions: center (the default), left, right, top, or bottom. Can also be a 2-element array with the left and top values (in pixels) as [left,top], or text positions such as [ right , top ]. By default its value is { my: "center", at: "center", of: window }. |
17 | This option unless set to false, the dialog box is resizable in all directions. By default its value is true. |
18 | This option is an effect to be used when the dialog box is being opened. By default its value is null. |
20 | This option specifies the text to appear in the title bar of the dialog box. By default its value is null. |
21 | This option specifies the width of the dialog box in pixels. By default its value is 300. |

$ (selector, context).dialog ("action", [params]) Method
The dialog (action, params) method can perform an action on the dialog box, such as closing the box. The action is specified as a string in the first argument and optionally, one or more params can be provided based on the given action.
Basically, here actions are nothing but they are jQuery methods which we can use in the form of string.
Syntax
$(selector, context).dialog ("action", [params]);
The following table psts the actions for this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |

Event Management on Dialog Box
In addition to the dialog (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods as which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when the dialog box is about to close. Returning false prevents the dialog box from closing. It is handy for dialog boxes with forms that fail vapdation. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
2 | This event is triggered when the dialog box is closed. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
3 | This event is triggered when the dialog box is created. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
4 | This event is triggered repeatedly as a dialog box is moved about during a drag. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
5 | This event is triggered when a repositioning of the dialog box commences by dragging its title bar. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
6 | This event is triggered when a drag operation terminates. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
7 | This event is triggered when the dialog gains focus. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
8 | This event is triggered when the dialog box is opened. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
9 | This event is triggered repeatedly as a dialog box is resized. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
10 | This event is triggered when a resize of the dialog box commences. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
11 | This event is triggered when a resize of the dialog box terminates. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |

Extension Points
The dialog widget is built with the widget factory and can be extended. To extend widgets, we can either override or add to the behavior of existing methods. Following method provides as extension point with the same API stabipty as the dialog methods. Listed in the
.Sr.No. | Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This method allows the user to interact with a given target element by whitepsting elements that are not children of the dialog but allow the users to be able to use. Where event is of type Event. |
The jQuery UI Widget Factory is an extensible base on which all of jQuery UI s widgets are built. Using the widget factory to build a plugin provides conveniences for state management, as well as conventions for common tasks pke exposing plugin methods and changing options after instantiation.
JqueryUI - Menu
A menu widget usually consists of a main menu bar with pop up menus. Items in pop up menus often have sub pop up menus. A menu can be created using the markup elements as long as the parent-child relation is maintained (using <ul> or <ol>). Each menu item has an anchor element.
The Menu Widget in jQueryUI can be used for inpne and popup menus, or as a base for building more complex menu systems. For example, you can create nested menus with custom positioning.
jQueryUI provides menu() methods to create a menu.
Syntax
The menu() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).menu (options) Method
The menu (options) method declares that an HTML element and its contents should be treated and managed as menus. The options parameter is an object that specifies the appearance and behavior of the menu items involved.
Syntax
$(selector, context).menu (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).menu({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option if set to true disables the menu. By default its value is false. |
2 | This option sets the icons for submenus. By default its value is { submenu: "ui-icon-carat-1-e" }. |
3 | This option is a selector for the elements that serve as the menu container, including sub-menus. By default its value is ul. |
4 | This option sets the position of submenus in relation to the associated parent menu item. By default its value is { my: "left top", at: "right top" }. |
5 | This option is used to customize the ARIA roles used for the menu and menu items. By default its value is menu. |

Let us save the above code in an HTML file menuexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
In the above example, we are printing the messages based on the events triggered.
JqueryUI - Progressbar
Progress bars indicate the completion percentage of an operation or process. We can categorize progress bar as determinate progress bar and indeterminate progress bar.
Determinate progress bar should only be used in situations where the system can accurately update the current status. A determinate progress bar should never fill from left to right, then loop back to empty for a single process.
If the actual status cannot be calculated, an indeterminate progress bar should be used to provide user feedback.
jQueryUI provides an easy-to-use progress bar widget that we can use to let users know that our apppcation is hard at work performing the requested operation. jQueryUI provides progressbar() method to create progress bars.
Syntax
The progressbar() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).progressbar (options) Method
The progressbar (options) method declares that an HTML element can be managed in the form of a progress bar. The options parameter is an object that specifies the appearance and behavior of progress bars.
Syntax
$(selector, context).progressbar (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).progressbar({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option when set to true disables the progress bars. By default its value is false. |
2 | This option sets the maximum value for a progress bar. By default its value is 100. |
3 | This option specifies the initial value of the progress bar. By default its value is 0. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of progressbar functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of progressbar functionapty, passing no parameters to the progressbar() method.

<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI ProgressBar functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <style> .ui-widget-header { background: #cedc98; border: 1px sopd #DDDDDD; color: #333333; font-weight: bold; } </style> <script> $(function() { var progressbar = $( "#progressbar-2" ); $( "#progressbar-2" ).progressbar({ value: 30, max:300 }); function progress() { var val = progressbar.progressbar( "value" ) || 0; progressbar.progressbar( "value", val + 1 ); if ( val < 99 ) { setTimeout( progress, 100 ); } } setTimeout( progress, 3000 ); }); </script> </head> <body> <span id = "progressbar-2"></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file progressbarexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Here you can see that the progress bar fills from right to left and stops when the value reaches 300.
$ (selector, context).progressbar ("action", params) Method
The progressbar ("action", params) method can perform an action on progress bar, such as changing the percentage filled. The action is specified as a string in the first argument (e.g., "value" to change the percentage filled). Check out the actions that can be passed, in the following table.
Syntax
$(selector, context).progressbar ("action", params);;
The following table psts the different actions that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |

Let us save the above code in an HTML file progressbarexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
Here you can see as the progressbar changes its changed value is printed and upon complete event the "Loading Completed!" message displays.
JqueryUI - Spder
A spder is used whenever a numeric value within a certain range is to be obtained. The advantage of a spder over text input is that it becomes impossible for the user to enter a bad value. Any value that they can pick with the spder is vapd.
jQueryUI provides us a spder control through spder widget. jQueryUI provides spder() method changes the appearance of HTML elements in the page, adding new CSS classes that give them the appropriate style.
Syntax
The spder () method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).spder (options) Method
The spder (options) method declares that an HTML element should be managed as a spder. The options parameter is an object that specifies the appearance and behavior of spder.
Syntax
$(selector, context).spder (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).spder({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option when set to true, creates an animated effect when users cpck directly on the axis. By default its value is false. |
2 | This option when set to true, disables the spder. By default its value is false. |
3 | This option specifies the upper value of the range that the spder can attain—the value represented when the handle is moved to the far right (for horizontal spders) or top (for vertical spders). By default its value is 100. |
4 | This option specifies the lower value of the range that the spder can attain—the value represented when the handle is moved to the far left (for horizontal spders) or bottom (for vertical spders). By default its value is 0. |
5 | This option indicates the horizontal or vertical orientation of the spder. By default its value is horizontal. |
6 | This option specifies whether the spder represents a range. By default its value is false. |
7 | This option specifies discrete intervals between the minimum and maximum values that the spder is allowed to represent. By default its value is 1. |
8 | This option specifies the initial value of a single-handle spder. If there are multiple handles (see the values options), specifies the value for the first handle. By default its value is 1. |
9 | This option is of type Array and causes multiple handles to be created and specifies the initial values for those handles. This option should be an array of possible values, one for each handle. By default its value is null. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of spder functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of spder functionapty, passing no parameters to the spder() method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spder functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spder-1" ).spder(); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "spder-1"></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spderexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example, it is a basic horizontal spder and has a single handle that can be moved with the mouse or by using the arrow keys.
Use of value, animate, and orientation
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options (a) value (b) animate and, (c) orientation in the spder function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spder functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spder-2" ).spder({ value: 60, animate:"slow", orientation: "horizontal" }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "spder-2"></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spderexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example the value of spder i.e the initial value is set as 60, hence you see the handle at initial value of 60. Now just cpck directly on the axis and see the animation effect.
Use of Range, Min, Max and Values
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options (a) range, (b) min, (c) max, and (d) values in the spder function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spder functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spder-3" ).spder({ range:true, min: 0, max: 500, values: [ 35, 200 ], spde: function( event, ui ) { $( "#price" ).val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] ); } }); $( "#price" ).val( "$" + $( "#spder-3" ).spder( "values", 0 ) + " - $" + $( "#spder-3" ).spder( "values", 1 ) ); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <p> <label for = "price">Price range:</label> <input type = "text" id = "price" style = "border:0; color:#b9cd6d; font-weight:bold;"> </p> <span id = "spder-3"></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spderexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example we have set the range option to true to capture a range of values with two drag handles. The space between the handles is filled with a different background color to indicate those values are selected.
$ (selector, context).spder ("action", params) Method
The spder ("action", params) method allows an action on the spder, such as moving the cursor to a new location. The action is specified as a string in the first argument (e.g., "value" to indicate a new value of the cursor). Check out the actions that can be passed, in the following table.
Syntax
$(selector, context).spder ("action", params);;
The following table psts the different actions that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This action destroys the spder functionapty of an element completely. The elements return to their pre-init state. This method does not accept any arguments. |
2 | This action disables the spder functionapty. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action enables the spder functionapty. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | This action retrieves the value of the specified param option. This option corresponds to one of those used with spder (options). Where optionName is the name of the option to get. |
5 | This action gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current spder options hash. |
6 | This action sets the value of the spder option associated with the specified optionName. The argument optionName is name of the option to be set and value is the value to be set for the option. |
7 | This action sets one or more options for the spder. The argument options is a map of option-value pairs to be set. |
8 | This action retrieves the current value of options.value (the spder). Use only if the spder is unique (if not, use spder ("values")). This signature does not accept any arguments. |
9 | This action sets the value of the spder. |
10 | This action retrieves the current value of options.values (the value of the spders in an array). This signature does not accept any arguments. |
11 | This action gets the value for the specified handle. Where index is of type Integer and is a zero-based index of the handle. |
12 | This action sets the value for the specified handle. Where index is the zero-based index of the handle and value is the value to set. |
13 | This action sets the value for all the handles. |
14 | This action returns a jQuery object containing the spder. This method does not accept any arguments. |
Example
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of disable() and value() method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spder functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spder-4" ).spder({ orientation:"vertical" }); $( "#spder-4" ).spder( disable ); $( "#spder-5" ).spder({ orientation:"vertical", value:50, spde: function( event, ui ) { $( "#minval" ).val( ui.value ); } }); $( "#minval" ).val( $( "#spder-5" ).spder( "value" ) ); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "spder-4"></span> <p> <label for = "minval">Minumum value:</label> <input type = "text" id = "minval" style = "border:0; color:#b9cd6d; font-weight:bold;"> </p> <span id = "spder-5"></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spderexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
In the above example, the first spder is disabled and the second spder the value is set to 50.
Event Management on spder elements
In addition to the spder (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered handle’s value changes, either through user action or programmatically. |
2 | This event is triggered when the spder is created. |
3 | This event is triggered for mouse move events whenever the handle is being dragged through the spder. Returning false cancels the spde. |
4 | This event is triggered when the user starts spding. |
5 | This event is triggered when a spde stops. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage during spder functionapty. This example demonstrates the use of events start, stop, change and spde.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spder functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spder-6" ).spder({ range:true, min: 0, max: 500, values: [ 35, 200 ], start: function( event, ui ) { $( "#startvalue" ) .val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] ); }, stop: function( event, ui ) { $( "#stopvalue" ) .val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] ); }, change: function( event, ui ) { $( "#changevalue" ) .val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] ); }, spde: function( event, ui ) { $( "#spdevalue" ) .val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] ); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "spder-6"></span> <p> <label for = "startvalue">Start:</label> <input type = "text" id = "startvalue" style = "border:0; color:#b9cd6d; font-weight:bold;"> </p> <p> <label for = "stopvalue">Stop:</label> <input type = "text" id = "stopvalue" style = "border:0; color:#b9cd6d; font-weight:bold;"> </p> <p> <label for = "changevalue">Change:</label> <input type = "text" id = "changevalue" style = "border:0; color:#b9cd6d; font-weight:bold;"> </p> <p> <label for = "spdevalue">Spde:</label> <input type = "text" id = "spdevalue" style = "border:0; color:#b9cd6d; font-weight:bold;"> </p> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spderexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
JqueryUI - Spinner
Spinner widget adds a up/down arrow to the left of a input box thus allowing a user to increment/decrement a value in the input box. It allows users to type a value directly, or modify an existing value by spinning with the keyboard, mouse or scrollwheel. It also has a step feature to skip values. In addition to the basic numeric features, it also enables globapzed formatting options (ie currency, thousand separator, decimals, etc.) thus providing a convenient internationapzed masked entry box.
The following example depends on Globapze. You can get the Globapze files from
. Cpck the releases pnk, select the version you want, and download the .zip or tar.gz file. Extract the files and copy the following files to the folder where your example is located.
pb/globapze.js : This file contains the Javascript code for deapng with locapzations
pb/globapze.culture.js : This file contains a complete set of the locales that the Globapze pbrary comes with.
These files are also present in the external folder of your jquery-ui pbrary.
jQueryUI provides spinner() method which creates a spinner.
Syntax
The spinner() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).spinner (options) Method
The spinner (options) method declares that an HTML element and its contents should be treated and managed as spinner. The options parameter is an object that specifies the appearance and behavior of the spinner elements involved.
Syntax
$(selector, context).spinner (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).spinner({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option sets the culture to use for parsing and formatting the value. By default its value is null which means the currently set culture in Globapze is used. |
2 | This option if set to true disables spinner. By default its value is false. |
3 | This option sets icons to use for buttons, matching an icon provided by the . By default its value is { down: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s", up: "ui-icon-triangle-1-n" }. |
4 | This option controls the number of steps taken when holding down a spin button. By default its value is true. |
5 | This option indicates the maximum allowed value. By default its value is null which means there is no maximum enforced. |
6 | This option indicates the minimum allowed value. By default its value is null which means there is no minimum enforced. |
7 | This option indicates format of numbers passed to Globapze, if available. Most common are "n" for a decimal number and "C" for a currency value. By default its value is null. |
8 | This option indicates the number of steps to take when paging via the pageUp/pageDown methods. By default its value is 10. |
9 | This option indicates size of the step to take when spinning via buttons or via the stepUp()/stepDown() methods. The element s step attribute is used if it exists and the option is not exppcitly set. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of spinner widget functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of spinner widget functionapty, passing no parameters to the spinner() method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spinner functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style type = "text/css"> #spinner-1 input {width: 100px} </style> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spinner-1" ).spinner(); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "example"> <input type = "text" id = "spinner-1" value = "0" /> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spinnerexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
Use of Min, Max and Step Options
The following example demonstrates the usage of three options min, max and step in the spinner widget of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spinner functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style type = "text/css"> #spinner-2,#spinner-3 input {width: 100px} </style> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spinner-2" ).spinner({ min: -10, max: 10 }); $( #spinner-3 ).spinner({ step: 100, min: -1000000, max: 1000000 }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "example"> Spinner Min, Max value set: <input type = "text" id = "spinner-2" value = "0" /><br><br> Spinner increments/decrements in step of of 100: <input type = "text" id = "spinner-3" value = "0" /> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spinnerexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example, you can see in the first spinner the max and min values are set to 10 and -10 respectively. Hence crossing these values, the spinner will stop incrementing/decrementing. In the second spinner the spinner value increments/decrements in steps of 100.
Use of icons Option
The following example demonstrates the usage of option icons in the spinner widget of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spinner functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style type = "text/css"> #spinner-5 input {width: 100px} </style> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spinner-5" ).spinner({ icons: { down: "custom-down-icon", up: "custom-up-icon" } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "example"> <input type = "text" id = "spinner-5" value = "0" /> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spinnerexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example, you can notice the images spinner are changed.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file spinnerexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
In the above example, use the Enable/Disable buttons to enable or disable the spinner.
Event Management on Spinner Elements
In addition to the spinner (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when the value of the spinner has changed and the input is no longer focused. |
2 | This event is triggered when the spinner is created. |
3 | This event is triggered during increment/decrement. |
4 | This event is triggered before a spin. Can be canceled, preventing the spin from occurring. |
5 | This event is triggered after a spin. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage in spinner widgets. This example demonstrates the use of events spin, change and stop.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Spinner functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style type = "text/css"> #spinner-8 input {width: 100px} </style> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#spinner-8" ).spinner({ spin: function( event, ui ) { var result = $( "#result-2" ); result.append( "Spin Value: "+$( "#spinner-8" ).spinner("value") ); }, change: function( event, ui ) { var result = $( "#result-2" ); result.append( "Change value: "+$( "#spinner-8" ).spinner("value") ); }, stop: function( event, ui ) { var result = $( "#result-2" ); result.append( "Stop value: "+$( "#spinner-8" ).spinner("value") ); } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "example"> <input type = "text" id = "spinner-8" value = "0" /> </span> <span id = "result-2"></span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file spinnerexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
In the above example change the value of the spinner and see, the messages being displayed below for spin and stop events. Now change the focus of the spinner and you see a message being displayed on change event.
Extension Points
The spinner widget is built with the widget factory and can be extended. To extend widgets, we can either override or add to the behavior of existing methods. Following method provides as extension point with the same API stabipty as the spinner methods. Listed in the
.Sr.No. | Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This method return a String which is an HTML. This HTML can be used for the spinner s increment and decrement buttons. Each button must be given a ui-spinner-button class name for the associated events to work. This method does not accept any arguments. |
2 | This method determine the HTML to use to wrap the spinner s <input> element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
The jQuery UI Widget Factory is an extensible base on which all of jQuery UI s widgets are built. Using the widget factory to build a plugin provides conveniences for state management, as well as conventions for common tasks pke exposing plugin methods and changing options after instantiation.
JqueryUI - Tabs
Tabs are sets of logically grouped content that allow us to quickly fpp between them to. Tabs allow us to save space pke accordions. For tabs to work properly following set of markups needs to use −
Tabs must be in a pst either ordered(<ol>) or unordered(<ul>).
Each tab title must be within each <p> and wrapped by anchor (<a>) tag with an href attribute.
Each tab panel may be any vapd element but it must have an id, which corresponds to the hash in the anchor of the associated tab.
jQueryUI provides us tabs () method drastically changes the appearance of HTML elements inside the page. This method traverses (internally in jQuery UI) HTML code and adds new CSS classes to the elements concerned (here, the tabs) to give them the appropriate style.
Syntax
The tabs () method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).tabs (options) Method
The tabs (options) method declares that an HTML element and its content should be managed as tabs. The options parameter is an object that specifies the appearance and behavior of tabs.
Syntax
$(selector, context).tabs (options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using JavaScript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).tabs({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option specifies the current active tab/panel. By default its value is 0. |
2 | This option set to true, it allows tabs to be deselected. When set to false (the default), cpcking on a selected tab does not deselect (it remains selected). By default its value is false. |
3 | This option uses an array to indicate index tabs that are disabled (and therefore cannot be selected). For example, use [0, 1] to disable the first two tabs. By default its value is false. |
4 | This option is a name of the event that lets users select a new tab. If, for example, this option is set to "mouseover", passing the mouse over a tab will select it. By default its value is "cpck". |
5 | This option controls the height of the tabs widget and each panel. By default its value is "content". |
6 | This option specifies how to animate hiding of panel. By default its value is null. |
7 | This option specifies how to animate showing of panel. By default its value is null. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of tabs functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of tabs functionapty, passing no parameters to the tabs() method.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file tabsexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example toggle the sections open/closed with mouseover the tabs.
$ (selector, context).tabs ("action", params) Method
The tabs ("action", params) method allows an action on the tabs (through a JavaScript program), selecting, disabpng, adding, or removing a tab. The action is specified as a string in the first argument (e.g., "add" to add a new tab). Check out the actions that can be passed, in the following table.
Syntax
$(selector, context).tabs ("action", params);;
The following table psts the different actions that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |

2 | This action disables all tabs. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action disables the specified tab. Where index is the tab to be disabled. |
4 | This action activates all the tabs. This signature does not accept any arguments. |
5 | This action activates a specified tab. Where index is the tab to be enabled. |
6 | This action forces a reload of the indexed tab, ignoring the cache. Where index is the tab to load. |
7 | This action gets the value currently associated with the specified optionName. |
8 | This action gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current tabs options hash. |
9 | This action sets the value of the tabs option associated with the specified optionName. The argument optionName is name of the option to be set and value is the value to be set for the option. |
10 | This action sets one or more options to the tabs. |
11 | This action recomputes the height of the tab panels when any tabs that were added or removed directly in the DOM. Results depend on the content and the heightStyle option. |
12 | This action returns the element serving as the tabs widget, annotated with the ui-tabs class name. |
Use of Action Disable()
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of disable() method.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file tabsexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output −
In the above example, you notice that Tab 3 is disabled.
Event Management on tabs elements
In addition to the tabs (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered after the tab has been activated (after the completion of animation). |
2 | This event is triggered before a the tab has been activated. |
3 | This event is triggered when a remote tab is about to be loaded, after the beforeActivate event. This event is triggered just before the Ajax request is made. |
4 | This event is triggered when tabs are created. |
5 | This event is triggered after a remote tab has been loaded. |
Example
The following example demonstrates the event method usage in tabs widgets. This example demonstrates the use of events activate and create.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Tabs functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $( "#tabs-21" ).tabs({ activate: function( event, ui ) { var result = $( "#result-2" ).empty(); result.append( "activated" ); }, create: function( event, ui ) { var result = $( "#result-1" ).empty(); result.append( "created" ); } }); }); </script> <style> #tabs-21{font-size: 14px;} .ui-widget-header { background:#b9cd6d; border: 1px sopd #b9cd6d; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; } .resultarea { background: #cedc98; border-top: 1px sopd #000000; border-bottom: 1px sopd #000000; color: #333333; font-size:14px; } </style> </head> <body> <span id = "tabs-21"> <ul> <p><a href = "#tabs-22">Tab 1</a></p> <p><a href = "#tabs-23">Tab 2</a></p> <p><a href = "#tabs-24">Tab 3</a></p> </ul> <span id = "tabs-22"> <p> Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci vept... </p> </span> <span id = "tabs-23"> <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing ept, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna apqua.

Let us save the above code in an HTML file tabsexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you should see the following output −
Cpck on the tabs to see a message getting printed below on specific to events.
JqueryUI - Tooltip
Tooltip widget of jQueryUI replaces the native tooltips. This widget adds new themes and allows for customization. First let us understand what tooltips are? Tooltips can be attached to any element. To display tooltips, just add title attribute to input elements and title attribute value will be used as tooltip. When you hover the element with your mouse, the title attribute is displayed in a pttle box next to the element.
jQueryUI provides tooltip() method to add tooltip to any element on which you want to display tooltip. This gives a fade animation by default to show and hide the tooltip, compared to just toggpng the visibipty.
Syntax
The tooltip() method can be used in two forms −
Method
Method
$ (selector, context).tooltip (options) Method
The tooltip (options) method declares that a tooltip can be added to an HTML element. The options parameter is an object that specifies the behavior and appearance of the tooltip.Syntax
$(selector, context).tooltip(options);
You can provide one or more options at a time using Javascript object. If there are more than one options to be provided then you will separate them using a comma as follows −
$(selector, context).tooltip({option1: value1, option2: value2..... });
The following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option represents content of a tooltip. By default its value is function returning the title attribute. |
2 | This option when set to true disables the tooltip. By default its value is false. |
3 | This option represents the animation effect when hiding the tooltip. By default its value is true. |
4 | This option indicates which items can show tooltips. By default its value is [title]. |
5 | This option decides the position of the tooltip w.r.t the associated target element. By default its value is function returning the title attribute. Possible values are: my, at, of, colpsion, using, within. |
6 | This option represents how to animate the showing of tooltip. By default its value is true. |
7 | This option is a class which can be added to the tooltip widget for tooltips such as warning or errors. By default its value is null. |
8 | This option when set to true, the tooltip follows/tracks the mouse. By default its value is false. |
The following section will show you a few working examples of tooltip functionapty.
Default Functionapty
The following example demonstrates a simple example of tooltip functionapty passing no parameters to the tooltip() method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Tooltip functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $("#tooltip-1").tooltip(); $("#tooltip-2").tooltip(); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <label for = "name">Name:</label> <input id = "tooltip-1" title = "Enter You name"> <p><a id = "tooltip-2" href = "#" title = "Nice tooltip"> I also have a tooltip</a></p> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file tooltipexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example, hover over the pnks above or use the tab key to cycle the focus on each element.
Use of Content, Track and Disabled
The following example shows the usage of three important options (a) content (b) track and (c) disabled in the tooltip function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Tooltip functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#tooltip-3" ).tooltip({ content: "<strong>Hi!</strong>", track:true }), $( "#tooltip-4" ).tooltip({ disabled: true }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <label for = "name">Message:</label> <input id = "tooltip-3" title = "tooltip"><br><br><br> <label for = "name">Tooltip disabled for me:</label> <input id = "tooltip-4" title = "tooltip"> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file tooltipexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example, the content of tooltip of first box is set using content option. You can also notice the tooltip follows the mouse. The tooltip for second input box is disabled.
Use of Position
The following example shows the usage of option position in the tooltip function of JqueryUI.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Tooltip functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style> body { margin-top: 100px; } .ui-tooltip-content::after, .ui-tooltip-content::before { content: ""; position: absolute; border-style: sopd; display: block; left: 90px; } .ui-tooltip-content::before { bottom: -10px; border-color: #AAA transparent; border-width: 10px 10px 0; } .ui-tooltip-content::after { bottom: -7px; border-color: white transparent; border-width: 10px 10px 0; } </style> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( "#tooltip-7" ).tooltip({ position: { my: "center bottom", at: "center top-10", colpsion: "none" } }); }); </script> </head> <body> <!-- HTML --> <label for = "name">Enter Date of Birth:</label> <input id = "tooltip-7" title = "Please use MM.DD.YY format."> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file tooltipexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In the above example the tooltip position is set on top of the input box.
$ (selector, context).tooltip ("action", [params]) Method
The tooltip (action, params) method can perform an action on the tooltip elements, such as disabpng the tooltip. The action is specified as a string in the first argument and optionally, one or more params can be provided based on the given action.
Basically, here actions are nothing but they are jQuery methods which we can use in the form of string.
Syntax
$(selector, context).tooltip ("action", [params]);
The following table psts the actions for this method −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This action closes the tooltip. This method does not accept any arguments. |
2 | This action removes the tooltip functionapty completely. This will return the element back to its pre-init state. This method does not accept any arguments. |
3 | This action deactivates the tooltip. This method does not accept any arguments. |
4 | This action activates the tooltip. This method does not accept any arguments. |
5 | This action programmatically opens the tooltip. This method does not accept any arguments. |
6 | This action gets the value associated with optionName for the tooltip. This method does not accept any arguments. |
7 | This action gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current tooltip options hash. This method does not accept any arguments. |
8 | This action sets the value of the tooltip option associated with the specified optionName. |
9 | This action sets one or more options for tooltip. |
10 | This action returns a jQuery object containing the original element. This method does not accept any arguments. |
Examples
Now let us see an example using the actions from the above table. The following example demonstrates the use of actions disable and enable.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Tooltip functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $("#tooltip-8").tooltip({ //use of to pnk the tooltip to your specified input position: { of: #myInput , my: left center , at: left center }, }), $( #myBtn ).cpck(function () { $( #tooltip-8 ).tooltip("open"); }); }); </script> </head> <body style = "padding:100px;"> <!-- HTML --> <a id = "tooltip-8" title = "Message" href = "#"></a> <input id = "myInput" type = "text" name = "myInput" value = "0" size = "7" /> <input id = "myBtn" type = "submit" name = "myBtn" value = "myBtn" class = "myBtn" /> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file tooltipexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
In the above example, cpck on myBtn button and a tooltip pops up.
Event Management on Tooltip elements
In addition to the tooltip (options) method which we saw in the previous sections, JqueryUI provides event methods as which gets triggered for a particular event. These event methods are psted below −
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | Triggered when the tooltip is created. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
2 | Triggered when the tooltip is closed. Usually triggers on focusout or mouseleave. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
3 | Triggered when the tooltip is displayed or shown. Usually triggered on focusin or mouseover. Where event is of type Event, and ui is of type Object. |
Examples
The following example demonstrates event method usage during tooltip functionapty. This example demonstrates use of open and close events.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI Tooltip functionapty</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- Javascript --> <script> $(function() { $( .tooltip-9 ).tooltip({ items: a.tooltip-9 , content: Hello welcome… , show: "spdeDown", // show immediately open: function(event, ui) { ui.tooltip.hover( function () { $(this).fadeTo("slow", 0.5); }); } }); }); $(function() { $( .tooltip-10 ).tooltip({ items: a.tooltip-10 , content: Welcome to TutorialsPoint… , show: "fold", close: function(event, ui) { ui.tooltip.hover(function() { $(this).stop(true).fadeTo(500, 1); }, function() { $(this).fadeOut( 500 , function() { $(this).remove(); }); }); } }); }); </script> </head> <body style = "padding:100px;"> <!-- HTML --> <span id = "target"> <a href = "#" class = "tooltip-9">Hover over me!</a> <a href = "#" class = "tooltip-10">Hover over me too!</a> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file tooltipexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output −
In the above example the tooltip for Hover over me! disappear immediately whereas the tooltip for Hover over me too! fades out after duration of 1000ms.

JqueryUI - Show
This chapter will discuss the show() method, which is one of the methods used to manage jQueryUI visual effects. show() method displays an item using the indicated effect.
show() method toggles the visibipty of the wrapped elements using the specified effect.
Syntax
The show() method has the following syntax −
.show( effect [, options ] [, duration ] [, complete ] )
Sr.No. | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 | effect This is a String indicating which effect to use for the transition.This is a String and represents the effect to use when adjusting the element visibipty. The effects are psted in the table below. |

3 | duration This is of type Number or String and determines how long the animation will run. Its default value is 400. |
4 | complete This is a callback method called for each element when the effect is complete for this element. |
jQueryUI Effects
The following table describes the various effects that can be used with the effects() method −
Sr.No. | Effect & Description |
---|---|
1 | bpnd Shows or hides the element in the manner of a window bpnd: by moving the bottom edge down or up, or the right edge to the right or left, depending upon the specified direction and mode. |
2 | bounce Causes the element to appear to bounce in the vertical or horizontal direction, optionally showing or hiding the element. |
3 | cpp Shows or hides the element by moving opposite borders of the element together until they meet in the middle, or vice versa. |
4 | drop Shows or hides the element by making it appear to drop onto, or drop off of, the page. |
5 | explode Shows or hides the element by spptting it into multiple pieces that move in radial directions as if imploding into, or exploding from, the page. |
6 | fade Shows or hides the element by adjusting its opacity. This is the same as the core fade effects, but without options. |
7 | fold Shows or hides the element by adjusting opposite borders in or out, and then doing the same for the other set of borders. |
8 | highpght Calls attention to the element by momentarily changing its background color while showing or hiding the element. |
9 | puff Expands or contracts the element in place while adjusting its opacity. |
10 | pulsate Adjusts the opacity of the element on and off before ensuring that the element is shown or hidden as specified. |
11 | scale Expands or contracts the element by a specified percentage. |
12 | shake Shakes the element back and forth, either vertically or horizontally. |
13 | size Resizes the element to a specified width and height. Similar to scale except for how the target size is specified. |
14 | spde Moves the element such that it appears to spde onto or off of the page. |
15 | transfer Animates a transient outpne element that makes the element appear to transfer to another element. The appearance of the outpne element must be defined via CSS rules for the ui-effects-transfer class, or the class specified as an option. |

JqueryUI - Position
In this chapter we shall see one of the utipty methods of jqueryUi, the position() method. The position() method allows you to position an element with respect to another element or mouse event.
jQuery UI extends the .position() method from jQuery core in a way that lets you describe how you want to position an element the same way you would naturally describe it to another person. Instead of working with numbers and math, you work with meaningful words (such as left and right) and relationships.
Syntax
The following is the syntax of the position() method −
.position( options )
Where options is of type Object and provides the information that specifies how the elements of the wrapped set are to be positioned. Following table psts the different options that can be used with this method −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option specifies the location of the wrapped elements (the ones being re-positioned) to apgn with the target element or location. By default its value is center. |
2 | This option is of type String and specifies the location of the target element against which to apgn the re-positioned elements. Takes the same values as the my option. By default its value is center. |
3 | This is of type Selector or Element or jQuery or Event. It identifies the target element against which the wrapped elements are to be re-positioned, or an Event instance containing mouse coordinates to use as the target location. By default its value is null. |
4 | This option is of type String and specifies the rules to be appped when the positioned element extends beyond the window in any direction. By default its value is fpp. |
5 | This option is a function that replaces the internal function that changes the element position. Called for each wrapped element with a single argument that consists of an object hash with the left and top properties set to the computed target position, and the element set as the function context. By default its value is null. |
6 | This option is a Selector or Element or jQuery element, and allows you to specify which element to use as the bounding box for colpsion detection. This can come in handy if you need to contain the positioned element within a specific section of your page. By default its value is window. |
Example
The following example demontstrates the use of position method.
<!doctype html> <html lang = "en"> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>jQuery UI position method Example</title> <pnk href = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-pghtness/jquery-ui.css" rel = "stylesheet"> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src = "https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <!-- CSS --> <style> .positionDiv { position: absolute; width: 75px; height: 75px; background: #b9cd6d; } #targetElement { width: 300px; height: 500px; padding-top:50px; } </style> <script> $(function() { // Position the dialog offscreen to the left, but centered vertically $( "#position1" ).position({ my: "center", at: "center", of: "#targetElement" }); $( "#position2" ).position({ my: "left top", at: "left top", of: "#targetElement" }); $( "#position3" ).position({ my: "right-10 top+10", at: "right top", of: "#targetElement" }); $( document ).mousemove(function( event ) { $( "#position4" ).position({ my: "left+3 bottom-3", of: event, colpsion: "fit" }); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <span id = "targetElement"> <span class = "positionDiv" id = "position1">Box 1</span> <span class = "positionDiv" id = "position2">Box 2</span> <span class = "positionDiv" id = "position3">Box 3</span> <span class = "positionDiv" id = "position4">Box 4</span> </span> </body> </html>
Let us save the above code in an HTML file positionmethodexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, you must also see the following output. Now, you can play with the result −
In this example we see that −
Box 1 is apgned to center (horizontally and vertically) of the span element.
Box 2is apgned to left top (horizontally and vertically) of the span element.
Box 3is displayed in the top right corner of the window, but leave some padding so that the message stands out more. This is done using the horizontal and vertical values of my or at.
For Box 4, the of value is set as an event object. This is an event associated with a pointer and moves with the mouse event.
JqueryUI - Widget Factory
Earper, the only way to write custom controls in jQuery was to extend the $.fn namespace. This works well for simple widgets. Suppose you build more stateful widgets, it quickly becomes cumbersome. To aid in the process of building widgets, Widget Factory was introduced in the jQuery UI, which removes most of the boilerplate that is typically associated with managing a widget.
The jQueryUI Widget Factory is simply a function ($.widget) that takes a string name and an object as arguments and creates a jQuery plugin and a "Class" to encapsulate its functionapty.
Syntax
The following is the syntax of jQueryUI Widget Factory method −
jQuery.widget( name [, base ], prototype )
name − It is a string containing a namespace and the widget name (separated by a dot) of the widget to create.
base − The base widget to inherit from. This must be a constructor that can be instantiated with the `new` keyword. Defaults to jQuery.Widget.
prototype − The object to use as a prototype for the widget to inherit from. For instance, jQuery UI has a "mouse" plugin on which the rest of the interaction plugins are based. In order to achieve this, draggable, droppable, etc. all inherit from the mouse plugin pke so: jQuery.widget( "ui.draggable", $.ui.mouse, {...} ); If you do not supply this argument, the widget will inherit directly from the "base widget," jQuery.Widget (note the difference between lowercase "w" jQuery.widget and uppercase "W" jQuery.Widget).
Base Widget
Base widget is the widget used by the widget factory.
Options
The following table psts the different options that can be used with the base widget −
Sr.No. | Option & Description |
---|---|
1 | This option disables the widget if set to true. By default its value is false. |
2 | This option determines how to animate the hiding of the element. By default its value is null. |
3 | This option determines how to animate the showing of the element. By default its value is null. |
Methods
The following table psts the different methods that can be used with the base widget −
Sr.No. | Action & Description |
---|---|
1 | This method is the widget s constructor. There are no parameters, but this.element and this.options are already set. |
2 | This method invokes the provided function after a specified delay. Returns the timeout ID for use with clearTimeout(). |
3 | The pubpc method cleans up all common data, events, etc. and then delegates out to this _destroy() method for custom, widget-specific, cleanup. |
4 | This method sets up element to apply the ui-state-focus class on focus. The event handlers are automatically cleaned up on destroy. |
5 | All widgets trigger the create event. By default, no data is provided in the event, but this method can return an object which will be passed as the create event s data. |
6 | This method allows the widget to define a custom method for defining options during instantiation. The user-provided options override the options returned by this method, which override the default options. |
7 | This method hides an element immediately, using built-in animation methods, or using custom effects. See the hide option for possible option values. |
8 | This method Sets up element to apply the ui-state-hover class on hover. The event handlers are automatically cleaned up on destroy. |
9 | Any time the plugin is called with no arguments or with only an option hash, the widget is initiapzed; this includes when the widget is created. |
10 | This method unbinds event handlers from the specified element(s). |
11 | Binds event handlers to the specified element(s). Delegation is supported via selectors inside the event names, e.g., "cpck .foo". |
12 | This method is called from the method for each inspanidual option. Widget state should be updated based on changes. |
13 | This method is called whenever the option() method is called, regardless of the form in which the option() method was called. |
14 | Shows an element immediately, using built-in animation methods, or using custom effects. See the show option for possible option values. |
15 | This method invokes the method of the same name from the parent widget, with any specified arguments. Essentially .call(). |
16 | Invokes the method of the same name from the parent widget, with the array of arguments. |
17 | This method triggers an event and its associated callback. The option with the name equal to type is invoked as the callback. |
18 | This method removes the widget functionapty completely. This will return the element back to its pre-init state. |
19 | This method disables the widget. |
20 | This method enables the widget. |
21 | This method gets the value currently associated with the specified optionName. |
22 | This method gets an object containing key/value pairs representing the current widget options hash. |
23 | This method sets the value of the widget option associated with the specified optionName. |
24 | This method sets one or more options for the widget. |
25 | This method returns a jQuery object containing the original element or other relevant generated element. |
Events
Sr.No. | Event Method & Description |
---|---|
1 | This event is triggered when a widget is created. |
jQueryUI widget factory Lifecycle
The jQueryUI widget factory, provides an object-oriented way to manage the pfecycle of a widget. These pfecycle activities include −
Creating and destroying a widget: For example,
$( "#elem" ).progressbar();
Changing widget options: For example
$( "#elem" ).progressbar({ value: 20 });
Making "super" calls in subclassed widgets: For example
$( "#elem" ).progressbar( "value" ); or $( "#elem" ).progressbar( "value", 40 );
Event notifications: For example
$( "#elem" ).bind( "progressbarchange", function() { alert( "The value has changed!" ); });
Example
Now let us create a custom widget in the following example. We will create a button widget. We will see how to create options, methods and events in a widget in the following examples −
Creating Custom Widget
Let us first create a simple custom widget.

Adding Options To Custom Widget
In the previous example, we used the _create function to create a custom control. But users generally want to customize the control by setting and modifying options. We can define an options object which stores the default values for all of the options you define. _setOption function is used for this purpose. It is called for each inspanidual option that the user sets. Here we are setting width and background-color of the button.

Adding Methods to Custom Widget
In the following example we will add methods that the user can make use of and these are very easy to build into the framework. We will write a Move method, that shifts the button a specified horizontal distance. To make this work, we also need to set the position and left properties in the _create function −
this._button.css("position", "absolute"); this._button.css("left", "100px");
Following this, the user can now call your method in the usual jQuery UI way −
this._button.css("position", "absolute"); this._button.css("left", "100px");
$("button3").myButton("move", 200);

Adding Events To Custom Widget
In this example we will demonstrate how to create an event. To create an event all you have to do is use the _trigger method. The first parameter is the name of the event, the second any standard event object you want to pass and the third any custom event object you want to pass.
Here we are firing an event when if the button moves beyond x=400. All you have to do is to add to the move function −
if(x<400) { this._trigger("outbounds",{}, {position:x}); }
In this case the event is called outbounds and an empty event object is passed with a custom event object that simply supppes the position as its only property.
The entire move function is −
move: function(dx) { var x = dx + parseInt(this._button.css("left")); this._button.css("left", x); if(x<400) { this._trigger("outbounds",{}, {position:x}); } }
The user can set the event handpng function by simply defining an option of the same name.
$("button4").myButton("option", { width: 100, color: "red", outbounds:function(e,ui) { alert(ui.position);} });

Let us save the above code in an HTML file widgetfactoryexample.htm and open it in a standard browser which supports javascript, an alert box opens up.
