jQuery is a multi-browser JavaScript library. jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications. jQuery also provides capabilities for developers to create plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library. This enables developers to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, theme-able widgets. The modular approach to the jQuery library allows the creation of powerful dynamic web pages and web applications.
The jQuery library is a single JavaScript file, containing all of its common DOM, event, effects, and Ajax functions. It can be included within a web page by linking to a local copy, or to one of the many copies available from public servers.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
The most popular and basic way to introduce a jQuery function is to use the .ready() function.
$(document).ready(function() {
// script goes here
});
// script goes here
});
or the shortcut
$(function() {
// script goes here
});
// script goes here
});
