Getting Started With JQuery

JavaScript is snippets of scripting code or functions that you can include in an HTML page or link to an HTML page to make it dynamic. JavaScript is executed on the client machine, instead of on the server machine like PHP scripting.

JQuery is a library of pre-made JavaScript functions that you can call on from your JavaScript. It allows you to do more powerful things without having to write as much code from scratch.


Here are a few good places to get started with JQuery.

• JQuery Tutorials at JQuery.com 
• JQuery Tutorials and Reference at w3schools.com 
• Learning JQuery - Tutorial Roundup for Beginners at line25.com 

If you are feeling a little fuzzy on your JavaScript, it might help you to review some of that first at a site like this one:
