jQuery Syntax?

Basic syntax is: $(selector).action()

• A $ sign to define/access jQuery
• A (selector) to "query (or find)" HTML elements
• A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s)

Examples:

$(this).hide() - hides the current element.
$("p").hide() - hides all <p> elements.
$(".test").hide() - hides all elements with class="test".
$("#test").hide() - hides the element with id="test".
