Exercises


The challenge exercise may require the use of the official jQuery documentation athttp://api.jquery.com/:

  1. When the page loads, pull the body content of exercises-content.html into the content area of the page.
  2. Rather than displaying the whole document at once, create tooltips for the letters in the left-hand column by loading just the appropriate letter's content from exercises-content.html when the user's mouse is over the letter.
  3. Add error handling for this page load, displaying the error message in the content area. Test this error handling code by changing the script to request does-not-exist.html rather than exercises-content.html.
  4. Here's a challenge. When the page loads, send a JSONP request to GitHub and retrieve a list of repositories for a user. Insert the name and URL of each repository into the content area of the page. The URL to retrieve the jQuery project's repositories is https://api.github.com/users/jquery/repos.
