JQuery Plugin

jQuery JavaScript library for TWiki

Description

This plugin packages the popular jQuery and jQuery UI JavaScript libraries.

  • jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.
    • Packaged version: jquery-1.10.2

  • jQuery UI is a curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library.
    • Packaged version: jquery-ui-1.10.3

See the JQueryPluginExamples page for a demo of a couple of widgets used by TWiki.

Specifying where to insert JavaScript and CSS loadling lines

This plugin inserts lines to load JavaScript and CSS files into the rendered HTML. By default, those lines are inserted at the beginning of the <head> tag content. That's fine for the skins bundled with TWiki releases. But you may want to specify where to insert those lines. In that case:

  1. Put <!-- JQueryPlugin placeholder --> at the place you want to have those lines
  2. Set $TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{JQueryPlugin}{CheckPlaceholder} to "1" (or any other true value)
