• jQuery for element selectors, performing DOM tasks, handle events
• jQuery is a library that needs to be added to a page
• works in all browsers without fallback code because it uses the correct code based on established internal checks
• selectors always return a collection, even if it is just 1 item
• getting info from a collection only returns info from the 0-th item.
• setting info on a collection does it to all elements in the collection
• jQuery objects are just references to DOM elements. It's better to use the same jQuery object over and over, rather than re-run the selector
• give jQuery object variables a leading $ to differentiate from other variables
• .each() method on a collection runs against each instance, rather than requiring a loop. Takes in a function to be run, utilizes this (for current element) or $(this) for new jQuery reference of the object
• $(document).ready(function() {//script}); === $(function(){//script});
• .before() -> prior to open tag
• .prepend() -> after open tag
• .append() -> before close tag
• .after() -> after close tag
• jQuery event methods (pg 326)
• on() has multiple variable options: event, selector, data, function()
