4/22

adding elements

.append
makes the added element a last child
.prepend
makes the added element a first child
.appendTo
does the same as .append except that the added element is in front of the method
.prependTo
does the same as .prepend except that the added element is in front of the method

object = $(' ') and is followed by a .event

objects inside jQuery events must be inside a function

more than one selector can go inside of the $(' ')

this refers to whatever is above it

Chose your own adventure game, stuck

I started with a question simply asking "What is your name?" but now I can't see a place for && and ||.

OK this is getting really annoying! Chrome keeps giving me the "He's dead Jim" blue screen of death every time I visit Codacademy's jQuery course

jQuery variables

jQuery variables are done just like JavaScript variables except the are conventionally preceded by a "$" to show that the contain a jQuery object.

intro to jQuery.

jQuery is mostly like JavaScript except that it actually manipulates a website's source code. The overall syntax is the same except that jQuery has a unique syntax for its objects. It appears to be organized like HTML and CSS in the sense that it is like a tree, with object function sets within object function sets.
