2. jQuery is a JavaScript Library.
jQuery greatly simplifies JavaScript programming.
jQuery is a lightweight, "write less, do more", JavaScript library.
jQuery simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and
Ajax interactions for rapid web development.
The purpose of jQuery is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your
website.

4. There are several ways to start using jQuery on your web site.
• Download the jQuery library from jQuery.com
• Include jQuery from a CDN, like Google
There are two versions of jQuery available for downloading:
• Production version
• Development version
If you don't want to download and host jQuery yourself, you can include it from a
CDN (Content Delivery Network).
Both Google and Microsoft host jQuery.

5. jQuery Syntax
The jQuery syntax is tailor made for selecting HTML elements and performing
some action on the element(s).
Basic syntax is: $(selector).action().
• A $ sign to define/access jQuery.
• A (selector) to "query (or find)" HTML elements.
• A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s).
The Document Ready event is used to prevent any jQuery code from running
before the document is finished loading (is ready).
It is good practice to wait for the document to be fully loaded and ready before
working with it.

6. Enable jQuery in your page
• jQuery can be enabled in your page by including
reference to jQuery library file
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">
• Introduce a jQuery function by using the below below given function.
$(document).ready(function(){
//Script goes here
});
OR
$(function(){
//Script goes here
});

7. JavaScript vs jQuery
• Example 1 - Hide an element with id "textbox“
//javascript
document.getElementById('textbox').style.display = "none";
//jQuery
$(' #textbox' ).hide();
• Example 2 - Create a <h1> tag with "my text“
//javascript
var h1 = document.CreateElement("h1");
h1.innerHTML = "my text";
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(h1);
//jQuery
$(' body').append( $("<h1/>").html("my text") ;

8. jQuery selectors are one of the most important parts of the jQuery library.
jQuery selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML element(s).
jQuery selectors are used to "find" (or select) HTML elements based on their
id, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes and much more.
The jQuery element selector selects elements based on the element name.
The jQuery #id selector uses the id attribute of an HTML tag to find the
specific element.
The jQuery class selector finds elements with a specific class.
jQuery Selectors

9. Basic selectors
• TagName
document.getElementsByTagName("tagName"); (javascript)
$("tagName") - $("div"), $("p"), $("div"),.....
• Tag ID
document.getElementById("id"); (javascript)
$("#id") - $("#name"), $("#address")
• Tag Class
document.getElementsByClassName("className"); (javascript)
$(".className") - $(".comment"), $(".code")
• To select all elements - $("*")

14. All the different visitor's actions that a web page can respond to are called events.
An event represents the precise moment when something happens.
Examples:
• moving a mouse over an element
• selecting a radio button
• clicking on an element
The term "fires/fired" is often used with events. Example: "The keypress event is
fired, the moment you press a key".
