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:
Removing HTML Elements
Remove an HTML element:
jQuery
$("#id02").remove();
JavaScript
document.getElementById("id02").remove();
Get Parent Element
Return the parent of an HTML element:
jQuery
myParent = $("#02").parent().prop("nodeName"); ;
JavaScript
myParent = document.getElementById("02").parentNode.nodeName;
