If you’ve been reading my jQuery series of posts sequentially, then you saw [intlink id=”110″ type=”post”]how to incorporate jQuery into an HTML page[/intlink], learned [intlink id=”248″ type=”post”]how to select elements[/intlink] so that you can use or manipulate them, grasped [intlink id=”261″ type=”post”]how to add event handlers[/intlink], and saw [intlink id=”298″ type=”post”]some of the effects[/intlink] that can easily be applied.
