Question : JQuery: "$" what does it mean in JQuery

Hi: In JQuery, I see something like: $.get(...). What does this $ mean? Does it mean current element/node?

Answer : JQuery: "$" what does it mean in JQuery

Dollar Sign is nothing but it's an alias for JQuery. Take a look at below jQuery code

$(document).ready(function(){

});

IS SIMILAR TO:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

});

Hope that helps
