Certain jQuery object methods retrieve specific values (instead of modifying a state). An example of this is the val() method, which returns the current value of a text input element. In these cases, a statement such as $('#user-email').val() cannot be used for chaining as the return value does not reference a jQuery object.
Note: $ and jQuery are the same object; choosing between them is purely a matter of opinion. Many scripts use this function simply to add some script interface, such as a link in a portlet. Then the main part of the code is executed after the user clicks on that link.

In July 2005, George Jempty suggested an optional variable assignment be prepended to JSON. [19] [20] The original proposal for JSONP, where the padding is a callback function, appears to have been made by Bob Ippolito in December 2005 [21] and is now used by many Web 2.0 applications such as Dojo Toolkit and Google Web Toolkit.
In ES6, arrow function syntax was added, allowing functions that return a value to be more concise. They also retain the this of the global object instead of inheriting it from where it was called / what it was called on, unlike the function() {} expression.
HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The webpage can be modified by JavaScript to dynamically display (and allow the user to interact with) the new information. The built-in XMLHttpRequest object is used to execute Ajax on webpages, allowing websites to load content onto the screen without refreshing the ...
Immediately invoked function expressions may be written in a number of different ways. [3] A common convention is to enclose the function expression – and optionally its invocation operator – with the grouping operator, [4] in parentheses, to tell the parser explicitly to expect an expression.
