it's a really kewl library which makes javascript coding a lot more convenient. It simplifies certain coding tasks and allows for more advanced control over the DOM.

Before you settle on jQuery, try have a look at other javascript libraries and see if they might suit you more.
have a look at http://www.javascriptlibraries.com/

jQuery is easily the most used js library now. Also check out their ThemeRoller when you can

UPFRONT DISCLAIMER: Lack of coffee in the office has a detrimental effect on productivity.

Too little coffee... *ghmph* Our coffee ran out this morning and we're waiting for Boardroom Coffees to deliver some more, but it's only arriving TOMORROW MORNING! :eek:

Aye. It has the distinction of being the first open source library to be bundled with VS. Also the default library for ASP.Net MVC and Drupal.

Wow... just, wow...

*silent moment for dequadin's descent into instant-coffee-hell*

You know what's the sad part in all this? We STILL don't have any coffee. We had to revert to buying Wimpy-coffees this morning! Luckily the Wimpy across the road was open just after 7AM. It tasted horrible. Nothing compares to the bitter, blissful taste of extra-strong filter coffee. NOTHING.

/cue "nothing tastes like FRESCA"-guy to do a coffee-like phrase

Hence you shouldn't post so early in the morning, it's not healthy :)

AcidRaZor, you should check the demos at ui.jquery.com and plugins.jquery.com for a start. If that doesn't give you an idea of what can be done (esp. the plugins) then I'll source a few websites.

I use a nice bookmarklet called WTFramework that tells me which js framework is in use on a site. Very nice.
