freeCodeCamp Challenge Guide: Target HTML Elements with Selectors Using jQuery

Target HTML Elements with Selectors Using jQuery


Problem Explanation

  • jQuery selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML elements.
  • These selectors start with the dollar sign and parentheses: $()
  • You can “find” (or select) HTML elements based on their name, id, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes and much more.

Example:

//You can select all <p> elements on a page like this  =  $("p")
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("button").click(function() {
    $("p").hide();
  });
});

Solutions

Solution 1 (Click to Show/Hide)
<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("button").addClass("animated bounce");
  });

  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-6">

For the love of god make sure you add capital letters when you’re supposed to. It will save you much pain. Not that i’d know…

Also be aware to put a space between animated and bounce.
