JQuery

=jQuery=

JQuery is a javascript library which makes the workload of an individual developer less daunting. It is crossbrowser and crossplatfrom compatible which reduces the risk of bugs due to browser incompatibilites. It also simplifies the writing of javascripts due to the use of the "jquery" function.

Heres an example of how to remove the content in all divs in a page: code format="javascript" $("div").html(""); code

Renaming the $ symbol in jQuery to anything you want
If you for some reason would want to change the default $ symbol used in jQuery with something else, perhaps to avoid collision with other JavaScript frameworks you can do the following simple steps:


 * 1) Create a variable with the name you want the $ symbol replaced with.
 * 2) Assign jQuery.noConflict to that variable.
 * 3) That's it... Now you can use your custom name instead of the $ symbol.

code format="javascript" // Create a custom variable var custom = jQuery.noConflict;

// Use the new variable instead of $ custom('body').text('Hello World!); code
