jqueryHow do I use jQuery to get an element by its ID?

Using jQuery to get an element by its ID is very simple. To do this, you can use the $(#id) selector. This will return a jQuery object containing all elements with the specified ID.

For example:

<div id="example">This is an example</div>

<script>
    var exampleElement = $('#example');
    console.log(exampleElement);
</script>

Output example

[div#example]

The code above does the following:

1. Declares a <div> element with an ID of example.
2. Uses the $('#example') selector to get the element with an ID of example.
3. Stores the element in the exampleElement variable.
4. Logs the exampleElement variable to the console.
