How to Find an Element by ID with jQuery

Spread the love

We can find an element with the given ID with jQuery by using the $ itself.

For instance, if we want to find something with ID foo, we can write:

$('#foo')

Then that will return the element with the ID foo.

Once we did that, if the element exists on the page, then we can do anything with it like adding/removing classes, adding/removing styles and so on.
