jQuery Quiz Questions 1-10

There will be an interactive jQuery quiz released soon in the members section where you can win prizes. In the meantime, here are a few jQuery questions which didn’t make the quiz but I thought it would be nice to share them with you, might be useful for some of you trying to learn jQuery or creating a quiz of your own. Hey, you may even learn something you didn’t know about jQuery.  There are quite a few questions, here are questions 1-10. Enjoy!

Question 1

Which of the following elements can you attach jQuery events to?

Answers

• object
• embed
• applet
• None of the above

Correct Answer
None of the above
You cannot attach events to object, embed, applet elements. jQuery’s event system requires that a DOM element allows attaching data via a property on the element, so that events can be tracked and delivered.

 

Question 2

Answers

• true

Correct Answer

Question 3

Is the following statement true or false?
jQuery defines focusin and focusout events which are a cross-browser of the focus and blur events.

Answers

• true
• false

Correct Answer
true
The focus and blur events are specified by the W3C to not bubble, but jQuery defines cross-browser focusin andfocusout events that do bubble. When focus and blur are used to attach delegated event handlers, jQuery maps the names and delivers them as focusin and focusout respectively. For consistency and clarity, use the bubbling event type names.
