After successfully installing jQuery, the next step is to write your first jQuery program.
This program helps you understand the basic structure of jQuery code and how it interacts with HTML elements.
Every jQuery program follows a simple structure:
- Load jQuery
- Wait for the page to load
- Perform an action on HTML elements
This HTML file contains a button element that will be controlled using jQuery.
The document ready function ensures that the page is fully loaded before jQuery code runs.
The click event executes when the user clicks the button.
This short syntax also works the same as document ready.
It shows how jQuery can manipulate HTML elements easily.
Key Learning Points:
- jQuery code always starts with $
- document ready is very important
- Events connect user actions with code
- jQuery can easily control HTML elements
