JQuery

JQuery is a JavaScript popular framework. It smooths over many of the difficulties that traditionally made JavaScript hard to work with and supports / encourages a unique style of coding driven by CSS-selector based "queries". JQuery code can be surprisingly compact.
For example, to hide all the links (in anchor tags) on a page, you could simply write:
$("a").hide();
Or to make all paragraphs of class "side" have a pink background:
$("p.side").css({background: "pink"});
