Jquery Selectors:

The jquery selectors are used to select parts of a HTML document in a number of interesting ways.The selectors can be used to select say elements based on ids,classes,number etc.For example to select a html element with id="foobar" we can use $("#foobar") where $ is the factory function.

Jquery Event handlers:

Jquery has loads of event handlers associated with each HTML element and gave an introduction in an abstract way.


eg: $(ul li a).click(function(){
alert(($this).val());
});


This will actually select all anchor tags within a li which is in turn inside a ul element and alert the value of the anchor.

JQuery and Ajax:

Jquery has some awesome support for asynchronous request and reply this includes methods like $get,$post methods.The $getJson method can be used to fetch a JSON file and parse it to obtain data.
