Document Object Model

1. Introduction to DOM

• DOM (Document Object Model) represents the structure of an HTML

document as a tree of objects.

• JavaScript can access and manipulate these elements dynamically.

2. Selecting Elements in DOM

• Using JavaScript:

o [Link]("id") – Selects an element by ID.

o [Link]("class") – Selects elements by

class.

o [Link]("tag") – Selects elements by tag

name.

o [Link]("selector") – Selects the first matching

element.

o [Link]("selector") – Selects all matching

elements.

• Using jQuery:

o $("selector") – Selects elements using CSS-like syntax.

3. Modifying Elements

• JavaScript:

o [Link] = "New Content"; – Changes content inside an

element.

o [Link] = "New Text"; – Updates only text content.

o [Link]("attribute", "value"); – Modifies attributes.

• jQuery:

o $("selector").html("New Content");

o $("selector").text("New Text");

o $("selector").attr("attribute", "value");

4. Adding & Removing Elements

• JavaScript:

o [Link]("tag") – Creates a new element.

o [Link](child) – Adds a child element.

o [Link](child) – Removes an element.

• jQuery:

o $("parent").append("<tag>New Content</tag>");

o $("parent").prepend("<tag>New Content</tag>");

o $("selector").remove();

5. Handling Events

• JavaScript:

o [Link]("event", function);

• jQuery:

o $("selector").on("event", function() {});

• Example:

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", function() {

alert("Button Clicked!");

});

$("#btn").on("click", function() {

alert("Button Clicked!");

});

6. Changing CSS Styles

• JavaScript:

o [Link] = "value";

• jQuery:

o $("selector").css("property", "value");

• Example:

Search Creators... Page 4

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

[Link]("box").[Link] = "blue";

$("#box").css("background-color", "blue");

7. Animations & Effects in jQuery

• $("selector").fadeIn();

• $("selector").fadeOut();

• $("selector").slideUp();

• $("selector").slideDown();

• $("selector").animate({property: "value"}, duration);

8. AJAX and Fetching Data

• JavaScript Fetch API:

fetch("url")

.then(response => [Link]())

.then(data => [Link](data));

• jQuery AJAX:

$.ajax({

url: "url",

method: "GET",

success: function(data) {

[Link](data);

Search Creators... Page 5

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

});

9. Event Delegation

• Used for handling events dynamically on elements that may not exist at the
start.

• JavaScript:

[Link]("parent").addEventListener("click", function(event) {

if ([Link](".child")) {

[Link]("Child clicked!");

});

• jQuery:

$("#parent").on("click", ".child", function() {

[Link]("Child clicked!");

});

10. Form Handling & Validation

• Accessing form values:

let inputValue = [Link]("input").value;

let inputValue = $("#input").val();

Search Creators... Page 6

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

• Validating input fields:

if ([Link]() === "") {

alert("Field cannot be empty");

1. DOM Node

• A node is any object in the DOM tree, such as:

o Element nodes (<div>, <p>, <button>, etc.)

o Attribute nodes (class, id, style)

o Text nodes (content inside an element)

o Comment nodes (<!-- This is a comment -->)

2. Accessing Nodes

Using JavaScript

• [Link]("id") → Selects an element by ID.

• [Link]("class") → Selects elements by class

name.

• [Link]("tag") → Selects elements by tag name.

• [Link]("selector") → Selects the first matching element.

• [Link]("selector") → Selects all matching elements.

Search Creators... Page 7

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

Using jQuery

• $("selector") → Selects elements using CSS-like syntax.

Example:

let node = [Link]("demo"); // JavaScript

let node = $("#demo"); // jQuery

3. Creating & Adding Nodes

Using JavaScript

• [Link]("tag") → Creates a new element.

• [Link](child) → Appends a child node to a parent.

• [Link](newNode, existingNode) → Inserts before another node.

Example:

let newDiv = [Link]("div");

[Link] = "New Element";

[Link](newDiv);

Using jQuery

• $("parent").append("<div>New Element</div>");

• $("parent").prepend("<div>New at Start</div>");

Search Creators... Page 8

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

Example:

$("body").append("<div>New Element</div>");

4. Removing & Replacing Nodes

Using JavaScript

• [Link](child) → Removes a node.

• [Link](newNode, oldNode) → Replaces a node.

Example:

let toRemove = [Link]("remove");

[Link](toRemove);

Using jQuery

• $("selector").remove(); → Removes an element.

• $("selector").replaceWith("<new element>"); → Replaces an element.

Example:

$("#remove").remove();

$("#old").replaceWith("<p>New Paragraph</p>");

Search Creators... Page 9

5. Cloning & Copying Nodes

Using JavaScript

• [Link](true) → Clones an element with all children (true) or

only itself (false).

Example:

let original = [Link]("original");

let clone = [Link](true);

[Link](clone);

Using jQuery

• $("selector").clone();

Example:

let clonedElement = $("#original").clone();

$("body").append(clonedElement);

Search Creators... Page 10

6. Navigating Nodes (Parent, Child, Sibling)

Using JavaScript

• [Link] → Gets the parent node.

• [Link] → Gets all child elements.

• [Link] / [Link] → Gets the first/last child.

• [Link] / [Link] → Gets the next/previous

node.

Example:

let parent = [Link]("child").parentNode;

let firstChild = [Link]("parent").firstChild;

Using jQuery

• $("selector").parent();

• $("selector").children();

• $("selector").first();

• $("selector").next();

Example:

let parent = $("#child").parent();

let firstChild = $("#parent").children().first();

Search Creators... Page 11

7. Changing Node Content

Using JavaScript

• [Link] = "New Content"; → Changes inner content.

• [Link] = "New Text"; → Changes text only.

Using jQuery

• $("selector").html("New Content");

• $("selector").text("New Text");

Example:

[Link]("demo").innerHTML = "Updated Content";

$("#demo").html("Updated Content");

8. Changing Node Attributes

Using JavaScript

• [Link]("attribute", "value");

• [Link]("attribute");

• [Link]("attribute");

Using jQuery

• $("selector").attr("attribute", "value");

• $("selector").removeAttr("attribute");

Search Creators... Page 12

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

Example:

[Link]("demo").setAttribute("class", "new-class");

$("#demo").attr("class", "new-class");

1. Updating Element Content

• innerHTML (JS) / .html() (jQuery) → Changes the inner HTML,

including formatting.

• textContent (JS) / .text() (jQuery) → Updates text content only (ignores

HTML tags).

• Example:

[Link]("demo").innerHTML = "<b>Bold Text</b>"; //

JavaScript

$("#demo").html("<b>Bold Text</b>"); // jQuery

2. Updating Element Attributes

• setAttribute("attr", "value") (JS) / .attr("attr", "value") (jQuery) →

Modifies an attribute.

• getAttribute("attr") (JS) / .attr("attr") (jQuery) → Retrieves an attribute

value.

• removeAttribute("attr") (JS) / .removeAttr("attr") (jQuery) → Deletes

an attribute.

Search Creators... Page 13

• Example:

[Link]("myImage").setAttribute("src", "[Link]"); //
JavaScript

$("#myImage").attr("src", "[Link]"); // jQuery

3. Handling Events

• JavaScript: addEventListener("event", function) → Binds an event to an

element.

• jQuery: .on("event", function) → Binds an event (can handle multiple

events).

• Common events: click, mouseover, keydown, change.

• Example:

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", function() {

alert("Clicked!");

});

$("#btn").on("click", function() {

alert("Clicked!");

});

4. Removing Event Listeners

• JavaScript: removeEventListener("event", function)

• jQuery: .off("event")

• Example:

[Link]("btn").removeEventListener("click", myFunction);

$("#btn").off("click");

Different Types of Events in JavaScript & jQuery

Events in JavaScript and jQuery allow developers to handle user interactions

effectively. Below are the key types of events:

1. Mouse Events

These events respond to user actions with the mouse.

Search Creators... Page 15

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", function() {

alert("Button clicked!");

});

// jQuery

$("#btn").on("click", function() {

alert("Button clicked!");

});

2. Keyboard Events

These events respond to keyboard interactions.

[Link]("keydown", function(event) {

[Link]("Key pressed: " + [Link]);

});

Search Creators... Page 16

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

// jQuery

$(document).on("keydown", function(event) {

[Link]("Key pressed: " + [Link]);

});

3. Form Events

These events are related to form elements.

[Link]("myForm").addEventListener("submit",
function(event) {

[Link](); // Prevents form from submitting

alert("Form submitted!");

});

// jQuery

$("#myForm").on("submit", function(event) {

[Link]();

Search Creators... Page 17

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

alert("Form submitted!");

});

4. Window Events

These events are triggered by the browser window.

[Link]("resize", function() {

[Link]("Window resized!");

});

// jQuery

$(window).on("resize", function() {

[Link]("Window resized!");

});

Search Creators... Page 18

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

5. Clipboard Events

These events handle copying and pasting actions.

[Link]("copy", function() {

alert("Content copied!");

});

// jQuery

$(document).on("copy", function() {

alert("Content copied!");

});

6. Drag & Drop Events

These events allow users to drag and drop elements.

Search Creators... Page 19

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

[Link]("dragElement").addEventListener("dragstart",
function() {

[Link]("Dragging started!");

});

// jQuery

$("#dragElement").on("dragstart", function() {

[Link]("Dragging started!");

});

7. Media Events

These events are used for media elements like <audio> and <video>.

[Link]("myVideo").addEventListener("play", function() {

Search Creators... Page 20

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

[Link]("Video started playing!");

});

// jQuery

$("#myVideo").on("play", function() {

[Link]("Video started playing!");

});

8. Touch Events (Mobile Devices)

These events handle touch interactions on mobile devices.

[Link]("touchstart", function() {

[Link]("Screen touched!");

});

// jQuery

Search Creators... Page 21

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

$(document).on("touchstart", function() {

[Link]("Screen touched!");

});

1. Using JavaScript (addEventListener)

• The addEventListener(event, function) method is used to bind an event to an

element.

• Syntax:

[Link]("event", function);

• Example:

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", function() {

alert("Button clicked!");

});

• Supports multiple event bindings for the same element.

• Does not override existing event listeners.

2. Using JavaScript (onclick or Inline Event Handler)

• Assigning an event handler directly to the onclick property.

Search Creators... Page 22

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

• Syntax:

[Link] = function;

• Example:

[Link]("btn").onclick = function() {

alert("Button clicked!");

};

• ⚠ Limitations:

o Can only bind one event at a time (overwrites previous event).

o Not suitable for dynamic elements.

3. Using jQuery (.on())

• The .on(event, selector, function) method is used to bind events

dynamically.

• Syntax:

$(selector).on("event", function);

• Example:

$("#btn").on("click", function() {

alert("Button clicked!");

});

Search Creators... Page 23

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

• Works on dynamically added elements.

• Can bind multiple events at once.

4. Using jQuery (.click(), .hover(), etc.)

• Shortcut methods for specific events.

• Example:

$("#btn").click(function() {

alert("Button clicked!");

});

• Simpler syntax but does not work for dynamically created elements.

5. Binding Multiple Events to the Same Element

• JavaScript (addEventListener):

let btn = [Link]("btn");

[Link]("mouseover", function() { [Link]("Mouse over!"); });

[Link]("click", function() { [Link]("Button clicked!"); });

• jQuery (.on()):

$("#btn").on("mouseover click", function() {

[Link]("Mouse over or clicked!");

Search Creators... Page 24

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

});

6. Binding Events to Multiple Elements

• JavaScript (querySelectorAll):

[Link](".buttons").forEach(button => {

[Link]("click", function() {

alert("One of the buttons clicked!");

});

});

• jQuery (.each()):

$(".buttons").each(function() {

$(this).on("click", function() {

alert("One of the buttons clicked!");

});

});

7. Binding Events to Dynamically Added Elements

• JavaScript (Event Delegation using [Link]):

[Link]("click", function(event) {

Search Creators... Page 25

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

if ([Link]("dynamic-btn")) {

alert("Dynamically added button clicked!");

});

• jQuery (.on()):

$(document).on("click", ".dynamic-btn", function() {

alert("Dynamically added button clicked!");

});

• Works for elements added later via JavaScript/jQuery.

8. Removing an Event Binding

• JavaScript (removeEventListener):

function myFunction() {

alert("Clicked!");

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", myFunction);

[Link]("btn").removeEventListener("click", myFunction);

• jQuery (.off()):

$("#btn").on("click", function() { alert("Clicked!"); });

Search Creators... Page 26

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

$("#btn").off("click"); // Removes click event

Event Delegation in JavaScript & jQuery

Event Delegation

Event delegation is a technique in JavaScript where a single event listener is added

to a parent element to handle events on multiple child elements, including
dynamically added elements.

Efficient – Reduces memory usage by attaching fewer event listeners.

Handles Dynamic Elements – Works even when new elements are added
dynamically.
Better Performance – Instead of attaching events to every element, it
delegates handling to a common parent.

How Event Delegation Works?

1. Add an event listener to a common parent element.

Search Creators... Page 27

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

2. Use [Link] to check if the event was triggered by the intended child
element.

3. Execute the event handler only if the correct child element is clicked.

1. Event Delegation Using JavaScript

Example: Handling Clicks on a List of Items

[Link]("list").addEventListener("click", function(event) {

if ([Link] === "LI") {

alert("Clicked on: " + [Link]);

});

The event listener is attached to the #list parent, but it works for all <li>
elements inside it.
Works even for new <li> items added later.

2. Event Delegation Using jQuery

Example: Handling Clicks on Buttons inside a Parent Div

Search Creators... Page 28

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

$(document).on("click", ".child-btn", function() {

alert("Button clicked: " + $(this).text());

});

The event is attached to document, but it listens for .child-btn clicks.

Works for dynamically added .child-btn elements.

4. When to Use Event Delegation?

When dealing with lists, tables, or elements created dynamically (e.g., <ul>,
<table>, <div>)
When handling repetitive UI components (e.g., buttons inside cards, form
fields inside a container)
When optimizing performance for high-interaction web pages

5. When Not to Use Event Delegation?

Search Creators... Page 29

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

If the child elements have different event handlers that must be unique
If capturing event behavior is needed (i.e., focus, blur, mouseenter)
If immediate response is required (event delegation may have a slight delay in
large DOM structures)

6. Real-World Example

Dynamically Adding and Handling Click Events

[Link]("addItem").addEventListener("click", function() {

let newItem = [Link]("li");

[Link] = "New Item";

[Link]("list").appendChild(newItem);

});

// Event Delegation for Handling Clicks

[Link]("list").addEventListener("click", function(event) {

if ([Link] === "LI") {

alert("You clicked on: " + [Link]);

});

Search Creators... Page 30

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

Clicking on newly added <li> items still triggers the event!

Event Listeners in JavaScript & jQuery

What is an Event Listener?

An event listener is a function that waits for a specific event (like a click, hover,
or keypress) to happen on an element and executes a function in response.

Detects user interactions (clicks, keyboard input, scrolling, etc.)

Enhances interactivity in web applications
Can be applied to multiple elements without modifying HTML

1. Adding Event Listeners in JavaScript

1.1 Using addEventListener()

The addEventListener() method attaches an event to an element without

overwriting existing events.
Syntax:

[Link]("event", function, useCapture);

• "event" → Type of event (e.g., "click", "mouseover", "keydown")

• function → The function to execute when the event occurs

• useCapture (optional) → true for event capturing, false for bubbling

Example: Button Click Listener

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", function() {

Search Creators... Page 31

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

alert("Button Clicked!");

});

Supports multiple event listeners on the same element

More flexible than onclick

1.2 Using Inline Event Handlers (onclick, onmouseover)

You can directly assign an event to an element using properties like onclick.
Example:

[Link]("btn").onclick = function() {

alert("Button Clicked!");

};

⚠ Limitations:

• Overwrites any previously assigned event handlers

• Not ideal for handling multiple events

Search Creators... Page 32

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

1.3 Using Anonymous vs Named Functions

Both anonymous and named functions can be used in event listeners.

Anonymous Function (Inline Function)

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", function() {

alert("Button Clicked!");

});

Named Function

function showAlert() {

alert("Button Clicked!");

[Link]("btn").addEventListener("click", showAlert);

Search Creators... Page 33

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

Advantage of Named Function: Can be reused and removed easily

2. Removing Event Listeners

Use removeEventListener() to detach an event listener.

[Link]("btn").removeEventListener("click", showAlert);

⚠ The function must be named when removing it. Anonymous functions cannot
be removed.

3. Event Listeners in jQuery

3.1 Using .on() (Recommended)

The .on() method attaches an event listener dynamically.

$("#btn").on("click", function() {

alert("Button Clicked!");

});

Works even for dynamically added elements

Can bind multiple events

3.2 Using .click(), .hover(), .keypress() (Shortcut Methods)

$("#btn").click(function() {

Search Creators... Page 34

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

alert("Button Clicked!");

});

⚠ These methods do not work on dynamically added elements. Use .on()

instead.

4. Event Propagation (Bubbling & Capturing)

Events travel through the DOM in two phases:

1️⃣ Capturing Phase (Top to Bottom)
2️⃣ Bubbling Phase (Bottom to Top)

Example: Bubbling Effect

[Link]("parent").addEventListener("click", function() {

alert("Parent Clicked!");

});

[Link]("child").addEventListener("click", function(event) {

alert("Child Clicked!");

});

Clicking on #child will trigger both listeners (child → parent).

Stopping Event Bubbling

Use [Link]() to prevent bubbling.

Search Creators... Page 35

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

[Link]("child").addEventListener("click", function(event) {

[Link]();

alert("Child Clicked, but parent won't trigger!");

});

5. Binding Multiple Events to an Element

Attach multiple event listeners using addEventListener() or .on().

JavaScript Example

let btn = [Link]("btn");

[Link]("mouseover", function() { [Link]("Mouse Over!"); });

[Link]("click", function() { [Link]("Button Clicked!"); });

jQuery Example

$("#btn").on("mouseover click", function() {

[Link]("Mouse Over or Clicked!");

});

6. Event Delegation

Instead of attaching listeners to each element, attach it to a parent and use

[Link] to handle child elements dynamically.

Search Creators... Page 36

 BIS601 | FULLSTACK DEVELOPMENT | SEARCH CREATORS.

JavaScript Example

[Link]("parent").addEventListener("click", function(event) {

if ([Link] === "BUTTON") {

alert("Button inside parent clicked!");

});

jQuery Example

$(document).on("click", ".child-btn", function() {

alert("Dynamically added button clicked!");

});

Best for handling dynamically generated elements.
