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.
Nice post. It is helpful when you write your idea like this so we can have a conversation that will help you learn more. To clarify a bit - jQuery *is* JavaScript. It is what is called a "JavaScript library", which is a collection of useful tools written in JavaScript that make it easier to do things - in this case primarily to manipulate the DOM. You can do anything you can do with jQuery in plain JavaScript (jQuery is written in plain JavaScript, after all), but it would be far more difficult to.
