They stalk their prey until they have a good vantage. Then they attach a safety line so that if the jump falls short they are safe, but if not they are on their prey and successful in their hunt. This is a general hunting tactic, some jumping Spiders have various tactics that differ slightly.

They dig a hole in the ground and use their web to make a gateway of sorts to put over a hole. When they feel vibrations in the ground, they jump out and catch their prey.
