JQuery integration project

Overview

This feature uses the jQuery JavaScript framework to create a plugin-based approach for enhancing the WET core framework.

Benefits

  • Includes the jQuery JavaScript Library which "simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development" (Source: http://jquery.com)
  • Provides a plugin-style architecture that can load scripts and CSS files without the use of link and script elements
  • Allows jQuery plugins and other JavaScript files to be added to the WET framework by wrapping them in a WET plugin
  • Simplifies plugin development by providing utility functions for loading parameters from a script id and dynamically loading JavaScript library files and CSS files (see section 6.1 for instructions on how to create a WET plugin)
  • Requires only one line of code in a Web page to enable and configure WET plugins (see section 6.2 for more details)
  • Conforms to WCAG 2.0
  • Progressive enhancement approach
  • Supports Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, and IE 7+
