How to target an element by its class in jQuery

[KenBrace]

One of the best things about jQuery is its powerful and easy-to-use selector system.

 

So how do you select an item in HTML by its class name?

 

Let's say I have an element with a class of "blue". I could select this element in jQuery using the following code.

 

 

$(".blue");

 

Simple as that. Note that all we had to do was place a period before the name of the class. This period tells jQuery that you are attempting to select a class.
