Alright, I’m with Ben Nadel on this one… jQuery is PIMP!! I started playing with it, and although I have barely scratched the surface I can tell that this thing is really powerful. As an example let us say that I have a form with a bunch of text boxes that I want to clear. Let’s say that the id of the form is frmSearch. Here’s how that could be done in jQuery.

$("#frmSearch :text").val("");

How cool is that? Yes, one line. Here’s what that does. The dollar sign ($) is the shortcut for the jQuery class. Inside the parenthesis we say to match an element who’s ID is frmSearch. Then the :text tells jQuery that we want to match ALL text boxes in that form. Then we are calling the val function which gets or sets the value of an element. In this case we are setting the value to blank.

Yeah, you need to check it out.
