Gain insights into jQuery for interactive web pages with animations, event-handling, AJAX, and DOM manipulation. Explore core concepts and apply your knowledge in an interactive project with quizzes.

This course will introduce you to jQuery, a framework for building interactive web pages with animations, visual effects, and advanced functionality. You will start with a brief introduction to the course and jQuery. 

Next, you will explore the core concepts in jQuery, such as event-handling, animations, and in-browser manipulation of the document object model. 

Finally, you will learn about the AJAX framework in jQuery for dynamic content loading in web pages. On top of that, you will be working on an interactive project throughout the course with quizzes and challenges at the end of each chapter.

The Complete Guide to jQuery

Sliding effects **slide** certain elements **up** and **down** on a webpage. The relevant effects are discussed in detail below.

## `slideUp()` effect
Given a selector, the **`slideUp()`** effect slides up and hides the set of matched elements from a webpage. We can also provide an optional `speed` parameter to control the sliding speed.

In the _"Slide Up"_ button event handler example below, we slide up the `div` element in 2000 ms using the `slideUp()` effect in **line 3**.

body{
  background-color: #Dbe1f5;
}

div {
  display: table-cell;
  border-style: solid;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 30px;
  font-size: 20;
  border-color: #227C9D;
  background-color: rgb(60, 197, 247);
}
button{
  margin: 5px;
  text-align: center;
}



<html>
 <head>
   <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js">
   </script>
 </head>
 <body>
   <button> Slide Up </button>
   <div>
      Div  
   </div>
 </body>
</html>

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("button").click(function() {
        $("div").slideUp(2000);
    })
});

## `slideDown()` effect

Given a selector, the **`slideDown()`** effect slides down and displays hidden elements present in the set of matched elements on the webpage. We can also provide an optional `speed` parameter to control the sliding speed. 

For example, in the _"Slide Down"_ button event handler below, we slide down and display the hidden `div` element in 3000 ms using the `slideDown()` effect in **line 7**. 

body{
  background-color: #Dbe1f5;
}

div {
  display: table-cell;
  border-style: solid;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 30px;
  padding: 30px;
  font-size: 20;
  border-color: #227C9D;
  background-color: rgb(60, 197, 247);
}
button{
  margin: 5px;
  text-align: center;
}



<html>
 <head>
   <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js">
   </script>
 </head>
 <body>  
   <button id="slideUp"> Slide Up </button>
   <button id="slideDown"> Slide Down </button>
   <div>
      Div  
   </div>
 </body>
</html>

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#slideUp").click(function() {
        $("div").slideUp(2000);
    })

    $("#slideDown").click(function() {
        $("div").slideDown(3000);
    })
});

## `slideToggle()` effect

The **`slideToggle()`** effect is a combination of `slideUp()` and `slideDown()`. When given a selector, if the matched elements are in a visible state, the `slideToggle()` effect slides elements up and out of the webpage. Similarly, if the matched elements are in a hidden state, the effect slides them back down onto the webpage.

Check out this behavior in this below example. In the _"Toggle Slide"_ button event handler, we toggle between sliding up and sliding down the `div` element using the `slideToggle()` effect in **line 3**. 

<html>
 <head>
   <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js">
   </script>
 </head>
 <body> 
   <button> Slide Toggle </button>
   <div>
      Div  
   </div>
 </body>
</html>

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("button").click(function() {
        $("div").slideToggle(3000);
    })
});
