- the ".ready()" function has something happen the second the page loads
- "document" refers to the html document itself
- "$()" is where jquery code goes
- "click" allows for something to happen when an object is clicked on
- "mouseenter" allows for something to happen when the mouse is placed over an object, while "mouseleave" is the opposite
- "animate" can manipulate an object
- "slidedown" does exactly what it sounds like, objects slide down
- "slow" can make an action slower
Actually, "$()" is a jQuery function call, which creates a jQuery (JavaScript) object from the document. Don't worry too much about that now. For now, you can just think of it as "jQuery magic" and enjoy using it ;-)
