Every decent programming start with a"Hello, world!" example, before you can start writing your own code,but just to make sure that everything is working, and for you to see how simple jQuery is, let's kick off with a little example:
<div id="divExample1"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#divExample1").text("Hello, world!");
</script>
$ is shortcut to access jQuery.
Same above example implemented using JavaScript without help from jQuery.
<div id="divExample2"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("divExample2").innerHTML = "Hello, world!";
</script>
Hello,world!
