Learn how to integrate jQuery scripts into Drupal, and how to leverage the JavaScript capabilities of the Drupal API in both 6.x & 7.x

Jeff Robbins and Nate Haug introduce the jQuery and Drupal integrations that we'll be building in this series, based on the foundations of theming, module development, and jQuery.

  • How to add jQuery to a theme
  • How to utilize Drupal's drag and drop behavior to reorder elements on a page within any form that has orderable items
  • Drupal's direct integration with jQuery through the Forms API in Drupal 6 and Drupal 7
  • Building a highly optimized AJAX request to Drupal that will return a JSON result
  • The JavaScript state system in Drupal 7

Note: The examples in the video span across Drupal 6 and Drupal 7, and jQuery code that will work either in jQuery version 1.2.6 or 1.4.
