It is used in over 60% of the top websites on the Internet. It was written to make DOM manipulation (so, moving things around a web page) easier for developers. It acts through JavaScript to ascribe HTML elements to the DOM attributes. Because it is a library of predefined functions, all you need to start using jQuery is a working knowledge of the syntax and a reference for the functions available to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis practical guide shows you how to make the most of jQuery to boost the performance of your websites and applications.
