jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development.
To use jQuery, you first need to include it in your HTML file by adding the following script tag in the head section of your HTML:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Once included, you can use jQuery to manipulate HTML elements using CSS selectors. For example, to hide all paragraph elements on a page, you can use the following code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("p").hide();
});
In this code, $(document).ready() ensures that the DOM is fully loaded before the code inside it is executed. $ is a shorthand for jQuery, and "p" is a CSS selector that selects all paragraph elements. .hide() is a jQuery method that hides the selected elements.
jQuery also simplifies event handling. For example, to add a click event to a button, you can use the following code:
$("button").click(function(){
alert("Button clicked!");
});
In this code, "button" selects all button elements, .click() attaches a click event handler to the selected elements, and the function inside .click() is executed when the button is clicked.
For more advanced features like animations and Ajax interactions, jQuery provides a comprehensive set of methods that make it easier to write JavaScript code.
