Top 15 jQuery Interview Questions With Answers
Without a doubt, jQuery has given a much needed boost to JavaScript, a language so useful but equally underrated
at times. Before jQuery comes into picture, we used to write lengthy JavaScript code not just for bigger but even for smaller
functionality. Those code were at times
both difficult to read and maintain. Having written JavaScript before
using this excellent library, I realized true power of jQuery, just
after using it for a month. Given it's huge popularity,
jQuery interview questions
are increasingly asked in any web developer interview, not just
beginners but also experienced developers, including HTML and
JavaScript. Since jQuery is relatively new, most interview questions are
asked from core jQuery library including
selectors,
DOM manipulation and
jQuery basics.
In this article, I am sharing a list of 16 jQuery questions asked to
HTML and JavaScript programmers in different interviews. Some of this
questions also asked in Java Web development interview, where it's required to work on both
Server side
(Spring, Servlet and JSP) and Client side (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and
jQuery). If you are going for an interview, where role demands multiple
skills e.g. Java, jQuery, it's not expected from you to know every minor
detail or comprehensive knowledge of jQuery, but if you are going for a
purely client side development role, you might get more tricky and
advanced jQuery questions than mentioned in this article. Nevertheless,
you can use it to quickly revise some of the
most frequently asked jQuery questions on interviews, but they are mostly suited
for web developers with 2 to 5 years of experience, especially in Java stack.
