Web Standards
It’s been several years since CSS language started serve as a solution to isolate attributes’ objects from objects themselves, in order to isolate format instructions from content in web environment.
Unfortunately, this does not apply to objects’ events. HTML and CSS can’t natively isolate objects’ events from objects.
JQuery came to fill this gap. Thanks to its ability to hunt
for objects within the document the same way as CSS, can assign pairs of actions and reactions for any object in a separate JavaScript file.
- Actions: mean events fired by user.
- Reactions: mean the reaction of the web application toward the event user fires, represented by a JQuery function, or even a pure JavaScript function.
So, only with the combination of HTML5 + CSS3 + JQuery, web developer can talk about pure object-oriented web applications!
