I prefer using efficient selector and prefer ID based if possible. Class based selector can yield me object array while ID based will give the exact one.

Default context is the DOM/ Document.

The syntax is $( selector , context )  and if we omit context, Document  is consider as the context.

What is difference between width()  and outerWidth() ?

What is jQuery event bubbling?  


What is jQuery event Propagation?

When an event is fired on a child element, it get propagate to its parents for handling the same. This is known as event bubbling. jQuery support this. We can stop event Propagation by –

a)     checking the actual target ex. e.target == this

b)    using e.stopPropagation();

Refer: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/satisharveti/jquery-event-propagation/

 


Is there any difference between window.onload event & $(document),ready event?

jQuery has a ready event which automatically triggered when Document becomes ready(still images may be being loaded but DOM is ready for operations). So code written inside this ready event comes in action only after the document is ready. This DOM ready wait, ensures that referring element is able to access and avoid the null or undefined/non-existence problem. If we still want more wait until everything is fully loaded including banner-images then load event can be used instead of ready event. In native JavaScript, there is also a 'window.onload' event which happen when document is fully loaded including banner images etc.
