jQuery vs JavaScript
jQuery was created in 2006 by John Resig. It was designed to handle Browser Incompatibilities and to simplify HTML DOM Manipulation, Event Handling, Animations, and Ajax.
However, after JavaScript Version 5 (2009), most of the jQuery utilities can be solved with a few lines of standard JavaScript:
Hiding HTML Elements
Hide an HTML Element:
jQuery
myElement.hide();
JavaScript
myElement.style.display = "none";
Showing HTML Elements
Show an HTML Element:
jQuery
myElement.show();
JavaScript
myElement.style.display = "";
Styling HTML Elements
Change the font size of an HTML element:
jQuery
$("#demo").css("font-size","35px");
JavaScript
document.getElementById("demo").style.fontSize = "35px";
