Some notes and examples on some of the most common jQuery modifiers

jQuery is an extremely popular Javascript library. It helps to speed up common tasks if you don’t mind adding a script that is 9000 lines long to your project. This post will cover the very basic methods that jQuery uses to select and modify elements.

DOM Events are actions taken by the user, not things that are executed on pageload. Clicks, hovering, dragging etc. We use event listeners to detect these interactions, and then do something.

Using Javascript we can manipulate the DOM. We can change styles, toggle classes, manipulate attributes etc.

DOM selection is the process of selecting individual HTML objects using their HTML tags, CSS classes and ID’s so that they can be then be manipulated.

We can add functions to objects, as properties, and when that is done they are referred to as methods.

Really what we mean here is that you can have an array of objects, not just simple strings or numbers. And you can reference data in those objects with key:value pairs.
