Overview of this book

jQuery is used by millions of people to write JavaScript more easily and more quickly. It has become the standard tool for web developers and designers to add dynamic, interactive elements to their sites, smoothing out browser inconsistencies and reducing costly development time.jQuery Hotshot walks you step by step through 10 projects designed to familiarise you with the jQuery library and related technologies. Each project focuses on a particular subject or section of the API, but also looks at something related, like jQuery's official templates, or an HTML5 feature like localStorage. Build your knowledge of jQuery and related technologies.Learn a large swathe of the API, up to and including jQuery 1.9, by completing the ten individual projects covered in the book. Some of the projects that we'll work through over the course of this book include a drag-and-drop puzzle game, a browser extension, a multi-file drag-and-drop uploader, an infinite scroller, a sortable table, and a heat map. Learn which jQuery methods and techniques to use in which situations with jQuery Hotshots.

We'll see that we can post messages between these different areas (the page in the browser and the extension) in a similar way that we posted a message to our sandbox.

Engage Thrusters

First we'll need to add some new files to the chrome-extension directory. We'll need a JavaScript file called content.js and a style sheet called content.css. We need to tell our extension to use these files, so we should also add a new section to the manifest file (manifest.json) we created earlier in the project:

"content_scripts": [{
    "matches": ["*://*/*"],
    "css": ["content...
