JQuery (expression, [context]), $ (jQuery) parameter

JQuery (expression, [context]), $ (jQuery) parameter
JQuery (expression,[Context]) Return Value: jQuery Overview

This function receives a string containing the CSS selector and uses this string to match a group of elements.

JQuery's core functions are implemented through this function. Everything in jQuery is based on this function, or is using this function in some way. The most basic usage of this function is to pass an expression (usually composed of CSS selectors) to it, and then find all matching elements based on this expression.

By default, if the context parameter is not specified, $ () searches for DOM elements in the current HTML document. If the context parameter is specified, such as a DOM element set or jQuery object, then it will be searched in this context. After jQuery 1.3.2, the returned element order is equivalent to the order in which the elements appear in the context.

Refer to the selector section in the document to obtain more information about the CSS syntax used for the expression parameter.
