Hi, Ron...glad you making some progress! And don't worry about the oversights...I'm constantly running into stuff like that...(I'm getting too old for all this, too! :o)
Concerning the noConflict stuff... I haven't had occasion, yet to have to use the noConflict approach, so I'm not personally experienced with it. But from having read about it on the list, my understanding is that it is simply a way to prevent the jQuery framework from conflicting with other Javascript frameworks, such as MooTools, Prototype, etc. And, apparently, from your example code, the coder is simply using a variable to represent the jQuery.noConflict(); code so he doesn't have to do so much typing. $bfa or jq is just quicker. It's just a convenience thing...perhaps someone else has more to offer in terms of explanation. hth, Rick -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ronz Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 1:21 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: newbie question Hi, Rick. Here's a quote to my hosting news group that 'splains' what has happened since yesterday. Maybe you could comment on the latter portion if you have time. TIA.........Ron <quote to newsgroup> It turns out that what I downloaded from jQuery ended up with a bunch of line feeds in it...my bad I'm sure. I ended up copying the jquery.js from the another site's installation and still had the same problem, but then it dawned on me that I should look to see if my editor(s) 'wrapped' the file and, sure enough, I let it get screwed up with those 'stinking' extra line feeds! <blush> To add insult to my stupidity, one copy paste from that other site wrapped the file with <pre>.......</pre> <blush> My only excuse is that, after 12 years, I'm now using linux with Bulefish and Screem editors that have 'con-foo-zed' me. >> I *really* feel stupid at this point.........Ron I'm getting too old for this......:=) Now for my 'extra' question: > ........ > var jq = jQuery.noConflict(); > jq(document).ready(function() > ....... I noticed the 'var - noConflict' line above and saw it in another site like this: var $bfa = jQuery.noConflict(); $bfa(document).ready(function(){ and in his function content "$bfa" showed up in many places like $bfa(".post img").each(function() { var maxwidth = centerwidth - 10 + 'px'; var imgwidth = $bfa(this).width(); ........... First of all, I'd seen no mention of "jQuery.noConflict()" in their docs and then seeing all those "$whatervers" all through a function's code mystified me. I'm guessing it uniquely identifies/isolates each function somehow. What is that all about and do you do that for some reason? A link somewhere that explains the above would be fine.
