jQuery 101: Basic examples

Okay - so you know what jQuery is, and have it installed on your site.  Now what do you do with it?

The possibilities are really limitless, but we have to start somewhere... The first thing you'll need to know is how to address what it is you're trying to act on.  Everything in jQuery is based on that.  You'll target something, then either act on it immediately or set up a function to be run later when a given event happens.  The most common of these are the click event or the hover event, but there are many more.
