JQuery is a very popular JavaScript library. From the web site:=
jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript L= ibrary that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating,= and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to cha= nge the way that you write JavaScript.
For business software developers JQuery is a bit of an unfortunate name = as it often conjures up visions of querying SQL databases. Querying is cent= ral to JQuery's usefulness, but you're not querying a database, you're quer= ying the HTML page itself which is typically made up of many elements. JQue= ry makes it easy to locate these elements and do things with them (much the= way CSS locators work, except that with JQuery you're applying the vast po= wer of JavaScript to the page).
JQuery has a plugin architecture which makes it easily extended; as a re= sult there is a rich ecosystem of JQuery plugins.
