The popular JavaScript library jQuery is an amazing way to extend the design possibilities of your site beyond what CSS can do.

We explore a simple variable and an IF/ELSE statement. Then we look at the AJAX-y .load() function, the CSS function, and then finish off by writing out own custom function and going over how that layer of abstraction can help us keep our code clean.
