jQBrowser is a lightweight, highly customizable browser automation framework built on top of jQuery. It provides a simple and intuitive API for interacting with web pages, allowing developers to automate tasks such as web scraping, testing, and form submission. Unlike heavier alternatives, jQBrowser leverages the familiarity and ease of use of jQuery, making it accessible to a wider range of developers. It focuses on providing a streamlined approach to common browser automation needs without the complexity of managing multiple browser drivers or complex configuration files.
Install Node.js and npm: If not already installed, download and install the appropriate version of Node.js and npm from the official website ([Node.js Download Link]).
Install jQBrowser: Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to your project directory. Use npm to install jQBrowser:
npm install jqbrowser
Include jQBrowser in your project: Require the library in your JavaScript file:
const jqBrowser = require('jqbrowser');
(Optional) Configure Headless Mode (if supported): If your project requires headless browsing, you might need to configure the library appropriately. Refer to the advanced configuration section of this manual for details. (This section should then be added later)
Start using jQBrowser: Refer to the API documentation and examples provided to learn how to use jQBrowser to interact with web pages. (Link to API docs should be added here)
jQBrowser interacts with web pages through a simplified Browser Object Model (BOM). While not directly exposing the full browser BOM, it provides access to key functionalities via jQuery-like methods. This abstraction simplifies interactions, preventing direct manipulation of lower-level browser APIs which can be complex and browser-specific. Essentially, the jQBrowser BOM allows you to access and manipulate the page’s DOM (Document Object Model) using jQuery selectors and methods. Think of it as a high-level, jQuery-wrapped layer over the underlying browser’s BOM. Accessing browser-specific features like windows or tabs may require extending the jQBrowser library or utilizing external modules depending on the supported functionalities.
jQBrowser utilizes standard jQuery selectors for targeting HTML elements within a webpage. This allows developers to use familiar and powerful selectors to easily find and manipulate specific DOM nodes. Supported selectors include:
div
, p
, span
, etc.) Select elements based on their tag name.#myElement
) Select elements with a specific ID..myClass
) Select elements with a specific class.[attribute=value]
, [attribute^=value]
, etc.) Select elements based on their attributes and values.>
(child selector), +
(adjacent sibling selector), and ,
(comma selector).Example:
// Select all elements with the class "item"
let items = jqBrowser.$('.item');
// Select the element with the ID "myForm"
let myForm = jqBrowser.$('#myForm');
jQBrowser supports common browser events using jQuery’s event handling capabilities. You can bind event listeners to elements and respond to user interactions or changes on the page. Standard jQuery event methods such as .on()
, .off()
, .trigger()
, and .one()
are supported. This enables creating dynamic interactions within the automation scripts.
Example:
// Attach a click event listener to a button
.$('#myButton').on('click', function() {
jqBrowserconsole.log('Button clicked!');
; })
Callbacks are functions passed as arguments to jQBrowser methods. These functions are executed upon the completion of an asynchronous operation or when a specific event occurs. They allow you to handle the results of asynchronous actions or react to events in a structured manner.
Example:
// Asynchronous operation with a callback (Illustrative)
.loadPage('https://www.example.com', function(error, data) {
jqBrowserif (error) {
console.error('Error loading page:', error);
else {
} console.log('Page loaded successfully:', data); //data may contain page source or other info.
}; })
Many jQBrowser operations, such as loading web pages, navigating between pages, or executing JavaScript code on a page, are inherently asynchronous. This means that they don’t block the execution of other code while waiting for the operation to complete. jQBrowser handles asynchronous operations using callbacks or promises (depending on the specific method’s implementation). Always ensure to handle the results of asynchronous operations appropriately using callbacks or promise handling to avoid race conditions or unexpected behavior. The API documentation for individual methods will specify whether they are synchronous or asynchronous and the preferred method for handling their results.
jQBrowser provides methods for traversing the Document Object Model (DOM) tree using jQuery’s traversal methods. These methods allow you to navigate up, down, and across the DOM tree to find related elements. They are crucial for locating elements within complex page structures.
Common traversal methods include:
parent()
: Get the parent element of the selected elements.parents()
: Get all ancestor elements of the selected elements.children()
: Get the direct children of the selected elements.find()
: Search for descendants of the selected elements.siblings()
: Get all sibling elements of the selected elements.next()
: Get the immediately following sibling element.prev()
: Get the immediately preceding sibling element.nextAll()
: Get all following sibling elements.prevAll()
: Get all preceding sibling elements.Example:
// Find all list items within an unordered list
let listItems = jqBrowser.$('ul').children('li');
// Find all paragraphs within a specific div
let paragraphs = jqBrowser.$('#myDiv').find('p');
// Get the parent of a specific element
let parentDiv = jqBrowser.$('#myElement').parent();
jQBrowser uses jQuery selectors (as described in the Core Concepts section) as the primary mechanism for finding elements within the DOM. This provides a flexible and efficient way to target specific elements based on their tag names, IDs, classes, attributes, or any combination thereof. Remember to utilize the jqBrowser.$()
function to perform the selection.
Example:
// Find an element by its ID
let elementById = jqBrowser.$('#myElement');
// Find all elements with the class "highlight"
let elementsByClass = jqBrowser.$('.highlight');
// Find all <a> elements with the attribute "href" starting with "http://"
let elementsByAttribute = jqBrowser.$('a[href^="http://"]');
After selecting a set of elements, jQBrowser allows you to filter the results down to a subset that matches specific criteria. This is accomplished using jQuery’s filter methods.
Common filter methods include:
:first
: Selects the first element in the set.:last
: Selects the last element in the set.:even
: Selects even-indexed elements.:odd
: Selects odd-indexed elements.:eq(index)
: Selects the element at the specified index.:gt(index)
: Selects elements with an index greater than the specified index.:lt(index)
: Selects elements with an index less than the specified index..filter(selector)
: Filters the set based on a given selector.Example:
// Select the second list item
let secondListItem = jqBrowser.$('li:eq(1)');
// Select all list items with the class "selected"
let selectedItems = jqBrowser.$('li').filter('.selected');
jQBrowser allows manipulation of elements using jQuery’s DOM manipulation methods. This includes adding, removing, modifying, and replacing elements and their attributes.
Common manipulation methods include:
.text()
: Get or set the text content of elements..html()
: Get or set the HTML content of elements..attr()
: Get or set attributes of elements..removeAttr()
: Remove attributes from elements..addClass()
: Add a class to elements..removeClass()
: Remove a class from elements..toggleClass()
: Toggle a class on elements..append()
: Append content to elements..prepend()
: Prepend content to elements..remove()
: Remove elements from the DOM.Example:
// Set the text content of a paragraph
.$('p').text('New paragraph text!');
jqBrowser
// Add a class to a div
.$('#myDiv').addClass('active');
jqBrowser
// Append a new element to a div
.$('#myDiv').append('<p>New paragraph</p>'); jqBrowser
Remember to consult the jQuery documentation for a complete list of available traversal, filter, and manipulation methods, as jQBrowser leverages the jQuery library’s functionalities for these operations.
jQBrowser uses jQuery’s methods to create new HTML elements. The primary method is $()
, but you need to pass it a string representing the HTML tag you want to create. You can then add attributes, content, and append it to the DOM.
Example:
// Create a new paragraph element
let newParagraph = jqBrowser.$('<p>This is a new paragraph.</p>');
// Create a new div with attributes
let newDiv = jqBrowser.$('<div id="myNewDiv" class="myClass">').attr('data-value', 'someValue');
// Append the new elements to the body
.$('body').append(newParagraph, newDiv); jqBrowser
Attributes of existing elements are modified using attr()
. You can set, get, or remove attributes.
Example:
// Get the value of the 'href' attribute of a link
let hrefValue = jqBrowser.$('a#myLink').attr('href');
// Set the 'title' attribute of a div
.$('#myDiv').attr('title', 'This is a div');
jqBrowser
// Remove the 'class' attribute from a paragraph
.$('p').removeAttr('class'); jqBrowser
The content of elements (text or HTML) is modified using text()
and html()
. text()
sets or gets the plain text content, while html()
sets or gets the HTML content, allowing for richer content manipulation.
Example:
// Set the text content of a paragraph
.$('p').text('This is new text.');
jqBrowser
// Set the HTML content of a div
.$('#myDiv').html('<h1>New HTML content</h1><p>This is a paragraph.</p>');
jqBrowser
// Get the text content of a div
let divText = jqBrowser.$('#myDiv').text();
Elements are removed from the DOM using remove()
. This method detaches the selected elements from the DOM tree.
Example:
// Remove all elements with the class 'removeMe'
.$('.removeMe').remove();
jqBrowser
// Remove a specific element
.$('#myElement').remove(); jqBrowser
Elements are cloned using clone()
. This creates a deep copy of the selected element(s), including all child elements and attributes. The cloned element can then be added to the DOM in a different location.
Example:
// Clone a div and append the clone to the body
let clonedDiv = jqBrowser.$('#myDiv').clone();
.$('body').append(clonedDiv); jqBrowser
Remember that all these methods leverage jQuery’s capabilities, so familiarizing yourself with jQuery’s documentation on these functions will provide a comprehensive understanding of their options and behaviors within jQBrowser.
jQBrowser uses jQuery’s event handling system, providing a straightforward way to attach event listeners to elements. The primary method is .on()
, which allows you to bind event handlers to one or more events for a selected element(s).
Example:
// Attach a click handler to a button
.$('#myButton').on('click', function(event) {
jqBrowserconsole.log('Button clicked!');
// Access event properties (see Event Object section)
console.log(event.target);
;
})
// Attach multiple handlers to a single element
.$('#myElement').on({
jqBrowsermouseover: function() { console.log('Mouseover'); },
mouseout: function() { console.log('Mouseout'); }
;
})
// Attach a handler to an element that is added later (delegation)
.$('body').on('click', '.dynamicElement', function() {
jqBrowserconsole.log('Dynamic element clicked!');
; })
Event propagation describes the order in which event handlers are triggered when an event occurs on an element nested within other elements. jQuery, and consequently jQBrowser, supports both capturing and bubbling phases of event propagation. By default, events bubble up the DOM tree (from the inner-most element to the outer-most).
You can control event propagation using:
event.stopPropagation()
: Stops the event from bubbling up the DOM tree.event.stopImmediatePropagation()
: Stops the event from bubbling and prevents any further handlers attached to the same element from being triggered.Example (stopping propagation):
.$('#innerElement').on('click', function(event) {
jqBrowserconsole.log('Inner element clicked!');
event.stopPropagation();
;
})
.$('#outerElement').on('click', function() {
jqBrowserconsole.log('Outer element clicked!');
; })
The event handler function receives an event
object as its first argument. This object contains various properties related to the event, including:
event.type
: The type of event (e.g., ‘click’, ‘mouseover’).event.target
: The element that triggered the event.event.currentTarget
: The element to which the handler is attached.event.clientX
, event.clientY
: Mouse coordinates relative to the viewport.event.preventDefault()
: Prevents the default behavior of the event (e.g., prevents link navigation).jQBrowser supports triggering and handling custom events. You can create and dispatch custom events to communicate between different parts of your application or to trigger specific actions.
Example:
// Trigger a custom event
.$('#myElement').trigger('myCustomEvent', [ 'data1', 'data2' ]); // Pass data as array
jqBrowser
// Attach a handler for the custom event
.$('#myElement').on('myCustomEvent', function(event, data1, data2) {
jqBrowserconsole.log('Custom event triggered!', data1, data2);
; })
Remember to consult the jQuery documentation for a comprehensive list of events, event properties, and methods for detailed usage. jQBrowser’s event handling mirrors jQuery’s functionality.
jQBrowser leverages jQuery’s powerful AJAX capabilities to make HTTP requests. This allows you to interact with servers, fetch data, and submit forms asynchronously without requiring complex low-level network programming. Note: Since jQBrowser is built on jQuery, the methods detailed below are jQuery’s AJAX methods. Ensure that you are using the correct jqBrowser.$()
method for selecting elements when needed.
GET requests are used to retrieve data from a server. jQuery’s $.get()
or the more general $.ajax()
method can be used.
Example using $.get()
:
.$.get('https://api.example.com/data', function(data, status, xhr) {
jqBrowserif (status === 'success') {
console.log('GET request successful:', data);
// Process the data
}; })
Example using $.ajax()
for more control:
.$.ajax({
jqBrowserurl: 'https://api.example.com/data',
type: 'GET',
success: function(data) {
console.log('GET request successful:', data);
,
}error: function(xhr, status, error) {
console.error("GET request failed:", error);
}; })
POST requests are used to send data to a server. jQuery’s $.post()
or $.ajax()
methods are used. POST requests typically send data in the request body.
Example using $.post()
:
.$.post('https://api.example.com/submit', { name: 'John Doe', email: 'john.doe@example.com' }, function(data, status, xhr) {
jqBrowserif (status === 'success') {
console.log('POST request successful:', data);
}; })
Example using $.ajax()
for more control and specifying data type:
.$.ajax({
jqBrowserurl: 'https://api.example.com/submit',
type: 'POST',
data: JSON.stringify({ name: 'Jane Doe', email: 'jane.doe@example.com'}),
contentType: 'application/json', // Important for sending JSON data
success: function(data) {
console.log('POST request successful:', data);
,
}error: function(xhr, status, error) {
console.error("POST request failed:", error);
}; })
The success callback function in the examples above receives the response data from the server. The format of this data depends on the server’s response (often JSON, XML, or plain text). You’ll need to parse the data appropriately depending on its format.
The error
callback function (shown in the $.ajax()
examples) handles errors that occur during the request. The xhr
object provides details about the error, including the HTTP status code. Proper error handling is crucial for robust applications.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a common data format for AJAX responses. jQuery automatically parses JSON responses if the dataType
option in $.ajax()
is set to ‘json’ (or omitted, as jQuery will often automatically detect JSON). If the server returns JSON data, you can directly access its properties within the success callback.
Example:
.$.ajax({
jqBrowserurl: 'https://api.example.com/data',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
console.log('Data from JSON response:', data.name, data.value);
}; })
Remember to handle potential errors (e.g., the server returning invalid JSON) appropriately to prevent your application from crashing. Always check for the success of the AJAX call and the validity of the returned data before processing. This is especially important for handling different response types besides JSON.
jQBrowser uses jQuery’s animation capabilities to add visual effects to your browser automation scripts. This can be useful for creating more user-friendly interfaces or for visually demonstrating the results of your automation tasks. Remember that these animations will only be visible if you are not running jQBrowser in headless mode.
jQuery provides a set of basic animation methods for common effects. These methods use jQuery’s animation engine and are directly available within jQBrowser.
Example:
// Fade in an element
.$('#myElement').fadeIn(1000); // 1000 milliseconds (1 second)
jqBrowser
// Fade out an element
.$('#myElement').fadeOut(500); // 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds)
jqBrowser
// Slide down an element
.$('#myElement').slideDown(750);
jqBrowser
// Slide up an element
.$('#myElement').slideUp(750);
jqBrowser
// Show/Hide an element
.$('#myElement').show();
jqBrowser.$('#myElement').hide();
jqBrowser
// Animate multiple properties at once
.$('#myElement').animate({
jqBrowseropacity: 0.5,
height: '150px'
, 1000); }
For more complex animations, you can use the animate()
method with custom properties and values.
Example:
.$('#myElement').animate({
jqBrowserwidth: '200px',
left: '+=100px', // Relative positioning
opacity: 0.2
, 1500, function() { // Callback function after animation completes
}console.log('Animation complete');
; })
Easing functions control the speed and rhythm of animations. jQuery provides several built-in easing functions, and you can also create custom ones. These are specified as the third parameter in the animate()
method.
Example:
// Use the 'swing' easing function (default)
.$('#myElement').animate({ left: '200px' }, 1000, 'swing');
jqBrowser
// Use the 'linear' easing function
.$('#myElement').animate({ left: '200px' }, 1000, 'linear');
jqBrowser
// More easing options (example only - check jQuery documentation)
// 'easeInQuad', 'easeOutQuad', 'easeInOutQuad', etc.
Animations can be chained together using jQuery’s method chaining to create sequential or complex animation sequences.
Example:
.$('#myElement')
jqBrowser.fadeIn(500)
.animate({ width: '200px' }, 1000)
.fadeOut(500);
Remember that the visual effects of these animations will only be apparent if jQBrowser is running with a visible browser window (not in headless mode). The duration of animations (specified in milliseconds) should be adjusted to suit your application’s needs and to allow sufficient time for the animation to complete before continuing with other automated tasks. Always consider using callbacks (the fourth parameter of the .animate()
method) for synchronization when multiple animations are chained to prevent potential timing issues.
jQBrowser simplifies interaction with HTML forms, allowing you to automate form submissions, perform validation, and handle form data efficiently.
Forms can be submitted programmatically using jQuery’s submit()
method. This simulates a user clicking the submit button. This approach is particularly useful for automated testing or for submitting forms as part of a larger workflow.
Example:
// Find the form element
let myForm = jqBrowser.$('#myForm');
// Submit the form
.submit();
myForm
//Alternatively, trigger the submit event:
.trigger('submit'); myForm
To submit the form using AJAX (without page reload), use jQuery’s $.ajax()
method and target the form’s action URL. You will need to handle the server’s response accordingly.
Example (AJAX form submission):
let myForm = jqBrowser.$('#myForm');
let formData = myForm.serialize(); //Serialize form data
.$.ajax({
jqBrowserurl: myForm.attr('action'),
type: 'POST',
data: formData,
success: function(response) {
console.log('Form submitted successfully:', response);
,
}error: function(xhr, status, error) {
console.error('Error submitting form:', error);
}; })
jQBrowser can automate form validation by accessing and checking the values of form fields. This can involve verifying if fields are filled, checking data types, or comparing values against certain criteria. You can use jQuery selectors to target specific form elements for validation.
Example:
let isValid = true;
let nameField = jqBrowser.$('#name');
let emailField = jqBrowser.$('#email');
if (nameField.val().trim() === "") {
console.error("Name field is required");
= false;
isValid
}
if (!/^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(emailField.val())) { //Basic email validation
console.error("Invalid email address");
= false;
isValid
}
if (isValid) {
// Submit the form (after validation passes)
.$('#myForm').submit();
jqBrowser }
jQuery provides methods to easily access and manipulate form data. The .val()
method gets or sets the value of form fields. The .serialize()
method converts form data into a URL-encoded string suitable for submission via AJAX.
Example:
// Get the value of a text input
let name = jqBrowser.$('#name').val();
// Get the value of a select element
let selectedOption = jqBrowser.$('#mySelect').val();
//Serialize the entire form's data into a string
let formData = jqBrowser.$('#myForm').serialize();
console.log("Form Data:", formData);
Remember that robust form handling requires comprehensive validation and error handling, especially if dealing with user input. Consider using more sophisticated validation techniques and error messages for better user experience in a production environment. Always sanitize user inputs to prevent security vulnerabilities.
jQBrowser’s architecture is designed to be extensible through plugins. This allows developers to add new functionalities and features without modifying the core library.
jQBrowser plugins are typically implemented as JavaScript modules that extend jQBrowser’s functionality by adding new methods or enhancing existing ones. A plugin should follow a consistent structure to ensure compatibility and ease of use. Ideally, plugins should be self-contained and well-documented. The plugin system might use a specific mechanism for registering plugins (e.g., a global registry or a specific method call), which would need to be documented in the jQBrowser API. (Specific details on the registration mechanism are needed here - if this info is available for jQBrowser, replace this with that specific info).
Creating a custom plugin typically involves:
Creating a JavaScript Module: Write the plugin code in a separate JavaScript file. This file will contain the plugin’s functions and its registration mechanism (detailed in the API).
Defining Plugin Methods: The plugin will define new methods that extend jQBrowser’s capabilities. These methods should be well-documented to explain their purpose and usage.
Registering the Plugin: Register the plugin with jQBrowser using the appropriate method (as specified in the jQBrowser API documentation). This allows jQBrowser to recognize and load the plugin when needed.
Testing: Thoroughly test the plugin to ensure that it functions correctly and integrates seamlessly with jQBrowser.
Example (Illustrative - adapt to jQBrowser’s specific plugin API):
// myPlugin.js
function($) {
(.fn.myCustomMethod = function(options) {
$// Plugin logic here...
return this;
;
}.$); // Register with jqBrowser
})(jqBrowser
//In your main script:
.$('#myElement').myCustomMethod(); //Use the new method jqBrowser
To use an existing plugin, you need to:
Obtain the Plugin: Download or include the plugin’s JavaScript file.
Include the Plugin: Make sure that the plugin’s script is included in your HTML file after including jQBrowser. Ensure the plugin’s script is loaded after jQBrowser itself.
Register the Plugin (if needed): Some plugins might require explicit registration with jQBrowser. Consult the plugin’s documentation for instructions.
Use the Plugin’s Methods: Use the plugin’s methods as documented in its API.
Example:
Let’s assume a plugin named 'image-processing'
with a method called 'enhance'
.
<script src="jqbrowser.js"></script> <!-- jQBrowser -->
<script src="image-processing.js"></script> <!-- Plugin -->
<script>
.$('#myImage').imageProcessing('enhance');
jqBrowser</script>
Remember that the specifics of plugin creation and usage depend heavily on the plugin architecture implemented in jQBrowser. Always refer to the official jQBrowser API and documentation for the most up-to-date information on plugin development and usage. This section provides a general overview, and the specifics will vary depending on the implementation.
Debugging jQBrowser code involves standard JavaScript debugging techniques, but with a focus on understanding the asynchronous nature of browser automation and the interaction with the DOM.
Browser Developer Tools: Use your browser’s built-in developer tools (usually accessed by pressing F12) to debug your JavaScript code. Set breakpoints, step through code execution, inspect variables, and examine the DOM structure. The console is particularly useful for logging messages and checking variable values.
Console Logging: Use console.log()
, console.warn()
, and console.error()
to print information, warnings, and errors to the browser’s console. This helps track the flow of your code and identify potential problems. Strategic logging at various points in your script can greatly aid in debugging complex issues.
Error Handling: Implement proper error handling using try...catch
blocks to gracefully handle exceptions and prevent your script from crashing. Use try...catch
around potentially problematic parts of the code to identify and handle errors in a controlled manner.
Asynchronous Debugging: Be aware of the asynchronous nature of many jQBrowser operations. Ensure callbacks are correctly handling results from asynchronous tasks to avoid timing or synchronization problems that might be hard to trace.
Debuggers: If your IDE (Integrated Development Environment) supports remote debugging, you can connect it to your browser for more advanced debugging capabilities.
Simplify: When debugging complex issues, it is often helpful to temporarily simplify your script to isolate the problematic area.
Performance optimization in jQBrowser focuses on minimizing the time it takes to execute your scripts and reducing the load on the browser.
Efficient Selectors: Use precise and efficient jQuery selectors to quickly locate elements in the DOM. Avoid overly general selectors that might select numerous elements unnecessarily. Test various selector combinations to identify optimal performance.
Minimize DOM Manipulation: Excessive DOM manipulation can be slow. Batch similar DOM operations together wherever possible to minimize the number of interactions with the browser’s rendering engine.
Asynchronous Operations: Use asynchronous operations where appropriate to prevent blocking of the main thread while waiting for long-running tasks to complete (like loading large pages).
Caching: Cache frequently accessed elements or data to avoid redundant lookups.
Profiling: Use your browser’s performance profiling tools to identify performance bottlenecks in your script. This will pinpoint where the script is consuming the most resources, enabling you to target optimization efforts effectively.
Avoid Unnecessary Operations: Regularly review your code to eliminate unnecessary steps or redundant calculations that could negatively affect the performance.
Code Optimization: Review your jQuery code for potential optimization. The techniques for optimizing JavaScript in general are also applicable to jQBrowser scripts.
Extending jQBrowser’s functionality often involves creating custom plugins (as described in the Plugins and Extensions section). However, there might also be other approaches based on jQBrowser’s architecture. (This section needs to be detailed based on what mechanisms jQBrowser allows for extensions beyond plugins). If jQBrowser allows for extending its core functionality directly, this section should contain information on those mechanisms and best practices for doing so. Consider issues like maintaining backward compatibility if modifying the core library directly. If no direct extension mechanism beyond plugins exists, this section could be shortened or omitted.
This section provides a comprehensive reference for the jQBrowser API. Due to the limitations of this text-based format, this is a template for the API reference. A real API reference would be significantly longer and more detailed, ideally presented in a format that allows for easy searching and filtering.
This section would contain a complete, alphabetically sorted list of all available methods and properties in jQBrowser. For each item, it would include:
Example (Illustrative - replace with actual jQBrowser API entries):
Name | Type | Parameters | Return Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
$() |
Method | jQuery selector string | jQuery object | Selects DOM elements using jQuery selectors. |
browser.open() |
Method | URL string | Promise | Opens a new tab or window and navigates to the specified URL. |
element.text() |
Method | (Optional) String (new text) | String | Gets or sets the text content of the element. |
version |
Property | None | String | Returns the version number of jQBrowser. |
isLoading |
Property | None | Boolean | Indicates whether jQBrowser is currently loading a page (Promise-based methods). |
(This table should be significantly expanded to include ALL methods and properties of jQBrowser.)
This section would provide detailed explanations for each method listed in the “Complete List of Methods and Properties” section. Each explanation would include:
Example (Illustrative - replace with actual jQBrowser method explanations):
browser.open(url)
browser.open(url)
url
(String): The URL to open. Must be a valid URL.javascript browser.open('https://www.example.com').then(() => { console.log('Page loaded successfully!'); }).catch(error => { console.error('Error loading page:', error); });
(This section should be vastly expanded to provide thorough explanations for each and every method of the jQBrowser API.)
This is a skeletal API reference. A complete API reference would require significantly more content, organized in a searchable and easily navigable format, possibly using a tool like JSDoc to automatically generate API documentation from code comments.
