Basic syntax is: $(selector).action()

• A $ sign to define/access jQuery
• A (selector) to “query (or find)” HTML elements
• A jQuery action() to be performed on the element(s)

Examples:

$(this).hide() – hides the current element.

$(“p”).hide() – hides all <p> elements.

$(“.test”).hide() – hides all elements with class=”test”.

$(“#test”).hide() – hides the element with id=”test”.
