Quick Answer jQuery selectors use CSS selector syntax to find elements: $("p") selects all paragraphs, $(".btn") selects by class, $("#header") by ID, $("input[type=text]") by attribute. You can combine: $("ul li:first") selects the first li in a ul. Selectors return a jQuery object - a collection of matching DOM elements.
