JQuery - Tips

1. Optimize performance of complex selectors var subset = $(""); $("input[value^=]", subset); 2. Set Context and improve the performance On the core jQuery function, specify the context parameter when. Specifying the context parameter allows jQuery to start from a deeper branch in the DOM, rather than from the DOM root. Given a large enough DOM, specifying the context parameter should translate to performance gains. $("input:radio", document.forms[0]); 3. Live Event Handlers Set an event handler for any element that matches a selector, even if it gets added to the DOM after the initial page load: $('button.someClass').live('click', someFunction);
