 The web of 2006 was a roller coaster to work with. jQuery was made to even out the lumpy platform the web offered and made cross-browser development easier. It did such a great job that it was not only widely adopted by developers, but even browser vendors were convinced by the usefulness of these APIs and they started shipping some of them natively. Let's look at an example. Arguably the most well-known feature of jQuery was the ability to find elements with a CSS selector. Here we are looking for a div that has the username class on it. This functionality proved to be so useful that browsers brought it to the platform under the name of query selector and query selector all. You can use query selector in all browsers, including into the Explorer 8. And here's a little fun fact, because so many developers are used to jQuery's dollar notation, it is even supported by DevTools. Neat. As you can see, jQuery had a lot of influence over the shape of the web. And we're gonna talk some more about that in the future episodes. So if you're interested, you should really subscribe to this channel. But in the meantime, why not watch some older Supercharged with this button?
