Advantageg of Using Jquery

What are the benefits of using Jquery on your website? Example, i want to use a live webcam chat feed on my website . If i am using Jquery, what are the main advantages that will bring to the website?

 

How about those advantages?
* 60% shorter code compared to standard Javascript without external libraries
* Works much better with different browsers
* jQuery uses easy to understand syntax, that is intuitive for the developer, which in turn makes development time much faster

 

The greatest advantage is that it works on almost all major browsers. Whereas with traditional javascript its a real pain to make the code work on all browsers.

 

Two things do it for me:
1) The code is cross-browser.
2) And the obvious - lots of built in functions that reduces difficulty and time spent on tasks.

 

Wonder if that spammer^ uses jQuery when building his/her spam-bots?

 

- Major cross browser support
- Neat, Clean, and "Fun" (subjective) syntax
- Makes difficult tasks easy and *sometimes* easy tasks easier

After learning Jquery I don't want to be bothered writing old traditional JavaScript.

 

What is the difference between Flash Player and Flash CS3? Is it that Flash player is for viewing, and Flash CS3 is used to create animation or am i wrong?

 

Flash CS3 is a development tool to create Flash Apps... Flash Player is just what it suggests.

 

the jquery is ability to keep the code simple, readable, clear and reusable.
