The goal of Q is to better create DOM object with jQuery.
During development of Passpack I need a fast way to create DOM objects. Also I more control on the created objects, so I created the plugin jQuick. But, this plugin, surely more elegant that Q causes security issues with Adobe AIR so I adapted it and I developed Q.
Q is very simple to use. Suppose you want to obtain the following html code:
<div class="big">
<span id="one" class="ps">Hello Joe<i>!</i></span>
</div>
Using Q you could create the corresponding DOM elements with the following code:
Q("DIV",{'class':'big'},
Q("SPAN",{id:'one','class':'ps'},
'Hello Joe', Q("I",'!')
)
);
Now suppose that you want to append to the big div an animated SPAN element, referring the DOM element with
the name of the person (Joe) with the variable name. You could write:
$('#big').append(
Q("SPAN",{id:'one','class':'ps'},
'Hello ',
name = Q("B",'Joe')
)
.animate({left: 50,opacity:'show'},1000)
);
After you can change, for example, the style of Joe with:
name.css({fontSize:14});
Finally, Q supports HTML code. It is useful if you have to pass the innerHTML of one tag to another.
Q("DIV",{'class':'big'},
'<span class="ps">Hello Joe<i>!</i></span>'
);
In some cases you can insert in Q arrays of objects as:
Q("DIV",{'class':'big'},
[ '<span>Ciao </span>'
, Q("BR")
, Q("I","Joe")
]
);
but it won't work if nested.
