By Anonymous
Overview:

In this tutorial i am going to explain about how to make the first word bold using jQuery script. For this using regular expression i am finding the first word from the target element and then adding the <strong> tag to that word then replacing it in the target.


Description:

 For explanation purpose i have created a html file with a div contains some text inside <p> tag. My goal here is i have to take the text from the p tag and i have to make the first word bold using jQuery. Below is the entire html and jQuery script which i used.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Make The First Word Bold</title>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Actual Text</h2>
    <div>
        <p>This is first sentence.</p>
        <p>Second sentence will start here.</p>
        <p>It is third sentence.</p>
        <p>Example Text Goes HERE.</p>
        <p>Good Morning Guys</p>
        <p>I am the boss</p>
    </div>
    <h2>Actual Text With First Word Bold</h2>
    <div id="links">
        <p>This is first sentence.</p>
        <p>Second sentence will start here.</p>
        <p>It is third sentence.</p>
        <p>Example Text Goes HERE.</p>
        <p>Good Morning Guys</p>
        <p>I am the boss</p>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $('#links p').each(function () {
            var me = $(this);
            me.html(me.text().replace(/(^\w+)/, '<strong>$1</strong>'));
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

CHECK IF FUNCTION EXISTS EXAMPLE

By
http://css-tricks.com/snippets/javascript/check-if-function-exists-before-calling/ When using scripts that are shared between different areas of a site, there may be cases where a function is called that doesn't exist. It makes sense on one page (the dependency is there) but not another. The difference is too slight to warrant forking the file into different versions. Instead, you can just check if the function exists before calling it to avoid the error: if ( typeof yourFunctionName == 'function' ) { yourFunctionName ( ) ; } jQuery code snippet to check whether a function exists within the JavaScript code. This can be easily achieved by using the jQuery.isFunction() function. Useful for checking if a jQuery function exists before calling it! < script type = "text/javascript" >      function  somenoobfunction ( )   {      }         // using jQuery      if   ( $. isFunction ( wi...

C# Extension Methods Example

By
In this article i am going to explain about Extension Methods  with example. Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. For client code written in C# and Visual Basic, there is no apparent difference between calling an extension method and the methods that are actually defined in a type. If you do implement extension methods for a given type, remember the following points: An extension method will never be called if it has the same signature as a method defined in the type. Extension methods are brought into scope at the namespace level. For example, if you have multiple static classes that contain extension methods in a single namespace named Extensions, they will all be brought into scope by the using Extensions; directive. ...
