The .live() method is deprecated in newer versions of jQuery.
The .delegate() method is preferred over .live() for performance reasons.
Both methods are used to handle events for dynamically added elements.
Example: $(document).live('click', 'button', function() { ... });
Example:...
- Q11. What is chaining in jquery?
- Ans.
Chaining in jQuery allows multiple methods to be called on a single element in a single line of code.
Chaining simplifies code and improves readability.
Each method in the chain operates on the result of the previous method.
The chain ends with a method that does not return a jQuery object.
Example: $('div').addClass('highlight').fadeOut();
- Q12. What is callback function?
- Ans.
A callback function is a function that is passed as an argument to another function and is executed later.
Callback functions are commonly used in event-driven programming.
They allow asynchronous execution of code.
Callback functions can be used to handle responses from APIs or user interactions.
They can be anonymous functions or named functions.
Example: setTimeout(function() { console.log('Hello!'); }, 1000);
- Q13. What is .bind() function in jquery?
- Ans.
The .bind() function in jQuery is used to attach an event handler function to one or more elements.
