jQuery CSS

jQuery vs JavaScript

jQuery was developed by John Resig in 2006 to address browser incompatibilities and simplify HTML DOM manipulation, event handling, animations, and AJAX.

For over a decade, jQuery was the most widely used JavaScript library. However, since the release of JavaScript Version 5 (2009), many tasks that jQuery handles can now be accomplished with just a few lines of standard JavaScript.

Hiding HTML Elements

Conceal an HTML element.

jQuery

myElement.hide();

JavaScript

myElement.style.display = “none”;

Showing HTML Elements

Display an HTML element.

jQuery

myElement.show();

JavaScript

myElement.style.display = “”;

Styling HTML Elements

Modify the font size of an HTML element.

jQuery

$(“#demo”).css(“font-size”,“35px”);

JavaScript

document.getElementById(“demo”).style.fontSize = “35px”;
