Event Basics

.preventDefault()
The on method is useful for binding the same handler function to multiple events
- $.fn.click, $.fn.focus, $.fn.blur, $.fn.change
- shorthand for jQuery's $.fn.on method

	// returns a single element of an array based upon it's offset from the end
	if (!Array.prototype.last){
	Array.prototype.last = function(offset){
	return this[this.length - offset];
	};
	};
