Hm, I'm not familiar with jQuery. I heard it's a collection of javascript library. Give me a simple example of it - use the most common library used.

 

yeha, its a library. and it's good. very little code accomplishes alot.
one of the method/properties i use most of jQuery is the hide() ans show()
its one of the easiest.

here's how it would look like to hide a div using jQuery

$('#divName').hide();

Code (markup):

that's it!

but there's more stuff

you can also change the class of all paragraphs

$('p').addClass('whiteBackground');

Code (markup):

find an element inside another element

var elementToTarget = $('#element').find('#targetDivId');
if(elementToTarget.length == 0) {
   alert('not found');
}

Code (markup):

it's really cool and cross-browser which is always great
