The DOM of a page is org'd as a tree. Dig it? No? Go read a book.
I can go on about how the DOM element is built like a tree, with "parent" and "children" elements, but like I said: Go read a book.
Here's an unordered list:
children()
: gets all the child elements of the matched elements xcept text nodesprev(), next(), parent()
: walks the tree - like I said about reading a bookfind()
: search within a given element to find elements that match the expressioneach()
: loops over a set of matched elements and calls a function for eachThis is paragraph 1.
This is paragraph 2.
This is paragraph 3.
This is paragraph 4.
This is paragraph 5.
