Chapter 5: DOM Manipulation—How to Change Your Page on Command

Something's changed
Everything's rearranged
    —Devo, "Let's Talk"

Like a magician who appears to produce a bouquet of flowers out of thin air, jQuery can create elements, attributes, and text in a web page—as if by magic. But wait, there's more! With jQuery, we can also make any of these things vanish. And, we can take that bouquet of flowers and transform it into a <div class="magic" id="flowers‑to‑dove">dove</div>.
