jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript. Jquery provides following features:
jQuery Library can be included within a web page by linking to a local copy or to various public servers. jQuery has a CDN sponsered by Microsoft and Google. How to Add jQuery Library to WebPage: Local Copy :<script type="text/javascript" src="js/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"></script> CDN (Microsoft) : <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.0.js"></script> CDN (Google) : <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"></script
<
script
type
=
"text/javascript"
src
"js/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"
></
>
"http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.0.js"
</
"http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"
> With jQuery we select HTML Element and perform some action on that perticular Element. Let's take an example
<html>
<head>
<script type=
src=
"js/jquery.js"
></script>
$(document).ready(
function
(){
$(
"p"
).click(
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hide Me !</p>
</body>
</html>
The power of jQuery comes with powerful ready event, which occurs only when it checks the documents to load and wait until it is ready.
