jQuery

jQuery often simplifies javascript programming and offers a lot of nice, easy to use front end features.

One way jquery simplifies things is with selectors. Here is a list of examples

$("p").hide()

Demonstrates the jQuery hide() method, hiding all <p> elements.

$("p").show()

Demonstrates the jQuery show() method, showing (unhiding) all <p> elements.

$(".my-toggle").toggle()

Demonstrates the jQuery toggle() method, toggling all elements having the class 'toggle'.

A paragraph. This paragraph has the class 'toggle'.

Another paragraph. This paragraph is inside a div tag. The div tag has the class "toggle".

This sentence is inside a div tag, but not inside a paragraph. It should not hide with the <p> tags, but will be toggled with the 'toggle' class calls.
