Using jQuery is very simple and is just a matter of downloading the library and including into all the pages you wish to use the library.
Once you have downloaded, move it to a location on there server (I like to make a folder in my website’s directory called ‘js’ and I put all my JavaScript files in there).
Add this line into the ‘<head>’ section of your web page:
[html]
[/html]
Now you have the ability to use the full power of jQuery.
