JavaScript provides several built-in datatypes. In addition to those, this page documents virtual types like Selectors, enhanced pseudo-types like Events and some concepts you need to know about Functions. If you want to study these concepts in depth, take a look at MDN. +

This page documents data types appearing in jQuery function signatures, whether defined by JavaScript itself or further restricted by jQuery. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, jQuery functions require primitive values where applicable, and do not accept their Object-wrapped forms. If you want to study these concepts in depth, take a look at MDN.

You should be able to try out most of the examples below by just copying them to your browser's JavaScript Console (Chrome, Safari with Develop menu activated, IE 8+) or Firebug console (Firefox).
