[web2py] Re: need teaching advice (JS+jQuery)
i was shown a demo recently of a project that pulled a bunch of data from a server into local storage (using HTML 5 local storage stuffs in modern browsers) and then doing some pretty nifty visualization in the browser. is use of local storage too server like for this class?

One thing that bugs me is that jQuery returns jQuery objects not dom
objects, so certain things you want to do just don't work if you treat it
like regular JS.
You can access the DOM object very easily by appending '[0]' to the jQuery
object.
For instance, $('#element')[0] will return the DOM element with the id of
element, or jQuery('a[href=#]')[0] will return the first anchor tag
with a href of #.

Your date has passed, so I don't know how useful this will be, but when I
introduce people to jQuery, I usually start with fun, gimmicky things, like
changing all the images in a web page to photos of cats:
jQuery('img').each(function() {var my = jQuery(this);
my.attr('src','http://www.placekitten.com/'+my.width()+'/'+my.height())})
And then move on to show how jQuery enables you to interact with things on
the page, like fading things in and out, resizing things, recoloring
things, and then using mouseovers or clicks to trigger these things on
other objects.
You could also show jQuery getting twitter updates.

What are some cool uses of JS/jQuery that do not involve server-side
programming?
I am thinking of hooking to some JSONP services. Is there any you would
suggest?

This is still useful, the class is 10 weeks long. This is the best advice I
got so far!
