Getting Started With jQuery

jQuery is a useful JavaScript library that simplifies methods of interacting with the DOM and is included in the Default Presentation Template.

In jQuery, you:

1. Select an element using a jQuery selector.
   • jQuery selectors take the form $(‘#elementID’), more information can be found here

2. Perform an action upon the element.
   • One pair of useful methods in jQuery is .addClass(‘class’) and .removeClass(‘class’). These methods can be used to manipulate the CSS classes on the selected element. More information can be found on jQuery methods

$("#myElement").addClass("myClass");
