I am using SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. I am developing using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 + ASP.Net. I am learning the following code dealing with javascript, my confusion is for $(function(){...} part of code, when it will be called and what is its function? I did not see any code invokes this function.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<link type="text/css" href="tabcontrol/themes/base/ui.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontrol/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="demo">
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li><a href="#tabs-1">tab1</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-2">tab2</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
<p>tab1 info</p>
</div>
<div id="tabs-2">
<p>tab2 info</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
thanks in advance, George
It comes from the jQuery library you're including:
<script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontrol/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
$
is an alias for the jQuery
function.
See jQuery(callback) reference documentation:
A shorthand for
$(document).ready()
.Allows you to bind a function to be executed when the DOM document has finished loading. This function behaves just like
$(document).ready()
, in that it should be used to wrap other $() operations on your page that depend on the DOM being ready to be operated on. While this function is, technically, chainable - there really isn't much use for chaining against it.
For more information, have a look at Tutorials:Introducing $(document).ready()
