jQuery selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML elements as a group or as a single element.
jQuery Element Selectors
jQuery uses CSS selectors to select HTML elements.
$("p") selects all <p> elements.
$("p.intro") selects all <p> elements with class="intro".
$("p#demo") selects the first <p> element with id="demo".
jQuery Attribute Selectors
jQuery uses XPath expressions to select elements with given attributes.
$("[href]") select all elements with an href attribute.
$("[href='#']") select all elements with an href value equal to "#".
$("[href!='#']") select all elements with an href attribute NOT equal to "#".
$("[href$='.jpg']") select all elements with an href attribute that ends with ".jpg".
jQuery CSS Selectors
jQuery CSS selectors can be used to change CSS properties for HTML elements.
The following example changes the background-color of all p elements to yellow:
