$(document).ready(something); says: "when the HTML document is ready, do something!"
$(document).ready(function() {
var $target = $(‘li:nth-child(4)‘);
$target.fadeOut(‘fast‘);
});
As you probably guessed, jQuery includes a .toggleClass() function that does exactly this. If the element it‘s called on has the class it receives as an input, .toggleClass() removes that class; if the target element doesn‘t have that class, .toggleClass() adds it.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(‘#text‘).click(function(){
$(‘#text‘).toggleClass(‘highlighted‘);
});
});
.html() can be used to set the contents of the first element match it finds. For instance,
$(‘div‘).html();
will get the HTML contents of the first div it finds, and
$(‘div‘).html("I love jQuery!");
will set the contents of the first div it finds to "I love jQuery!"
.val() is used to get the value of form elements. For example,
$(‘input:checkbox:checked‘).val();
would get the value of the first checked checkbox that jQuery finds.
The .slideToggle() method animates the height of the matched elements. This causes lower parts of the page to slide up or down, appearing to reveal or conceal the items. If the element is initially displayed, it will be hidden; if hidden, it will be shown.
