            !! jQuery
jQuery has been added as Javascript framework, which allows many nice effects on several parts of Tiki. It is an experimental, optional feature of Tiki 3.0, and in 4.0 it is the default, always on Javascript framework. It is used in compatibility mode (via the JavaScript var $jq instead of just $) in Tiki3, 4 & 5, so specific projects can also use others (although in Tiki, it's just jQuery). However, since ((Tiki6)), you don't need to start you code with $jq but just $. 

Keep in mind that there is also a ((PluginJQ)) and ((Custom Code HowTo - jQuery)) to allow other extended usages.


{VERSIONS(nav="y",default="Tiki3")}
It can be enabled through "Admin > Features", and its options through "Admin > Look and Feel > UI Effects"

^::{img src=img/wiki_up/tiki3_admin_jquery_00.png}::^
---(Tiki6)---
JQuery is enabled by default and the jquery plugins can be enabled/disabled through "__Admin > Features > Interface__"

{img fileId="322" alt="" rel="box[g]" class=reflect} 
{VERSIONS}

You can see it in action in this introductory video to [Tiki3#Video]

!!!! Sortable Tables
Added in ((Tiki12)).0. It provides new features such as the ones shown in the user administration or Plugin FancyTable, among others.

For instance, for user administration, you nowadays have many more filtering options to select users from the users list. You can filter by a search string in the username, by exact email, by the fact that users didn't validate their account, etc. All of them using the jQuery Sortable Tables feature.

{img src="display851" link="display851" width="600" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" align="center" styleimage="border"}

In Plugin FancyTable, you can as usual sort by one or more columns, but since Tiki12 you can also filter you results by searching for some string in one or more columns. In the example below, sorted by one column ("Percentage"), and filtered by content in another column ("Native name" containing "de"):

{img src="display850" link="display850" width="600" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" align="center" styleimage="border"}

!!!! Zoom
A small jQuery plugin for zooming images on mouseover or mousedown. See the project page ([http://jacklmoore.com/zoom/] for documentation and a demonstration.
