most versatile ways of doing things in jquery

in jQuery Mobile • 9 months ago

$('#contents')[x] vs document.getElementById("contents")[x]
is anyone more advisable, more universal, less restricted?

I guess the former does not work with non jq.

is there an article or compilation of commands which prove to work in both js and jq?

Hmm... note quit the right questions here.

$('#contents') returns a JQuery object. document.getElementById("contents") returns an HTML Dom object. So the above two statements are not the same.

What you possibly mean is $('#contents')[0] vs document.getElementById("contents");

What I would say is if you are going to utilize JQuery, obviously use the first. If not you may use the second - one less stop.

Any more advisable? If you are using JQuery, use the first. This way you can use JQuery methods.

More universal? You already answered - document.getElementById since the first you need JQuery. Don't know why you want to this though.

Less restricted? If you are using JQuery then $("#contents") is less restrictive.

You may get more input if you move this to the correct forum - JQuery forum, not JQuery Mobile forum.

yes, op meant comparing two distinct categories. but you have answered the first part of my question.

the second was about some resource - a compilation published on the net concerning in what circumstances and in what environment commands assume.

this would definitely be of use for beginners. you come across an instruction you need and later on, after an hour of experiments you get to know elsewhere, that it won't work, because something.
