jQuery

"... makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers."

Use Cases

• Client-side scripting
• Small Web applications
• HTML DOM simplication
• Basis of JS frameworks

Example: Selections

Example: Events

Example: Effects

Example: Traversals

Example: XHR (Ajax)

A Word of Caution

jQuery alone is good for DOM scripting.

Don't design complex web apps around DOM scripting!
