NAME

Jifty::Plugin::JQuery - use the jQuery JavaScript library with Jifty

SYNOPSIS

In your etc/config.yml:

  framework:
    Plugins:
      - JQuery: {}

In your JavaScript files, you can then use any jQuery call:

  jQuery("p.surprise").addClass("ohmy").show("slow");

DESCRIPTION

The jQuery JavaScript library is a small JavaScript library with the intent of providing most of the shortcuts you need it a simple syntax. Since Jifty already uses Prototype, which implements a $() function, this plugin loads jQuery and calls "noConflict()" to prevent it from clobbering Prototype's $() function. Thus, to use jQuery, you have to use the jQuery() method rather than $().

You may want to use this idiom from the jQuery documentation if you still want to use this idiom (see http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries):

  function($){
     // Use jQuery stuff using $
     $("div").hide();
  }(jQuery);

METHODS

init

This initializes the plugin, which simply includes the JavaScript necessary to load jQuery and then disable the jQuery implementation of $().
