JQuery syntax re select

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.
