Question

How can you chain multiple jQuery methods?

I'm working with jQuery and need to perform multiple actions on the same element. How can I chain multiple jQuery methods together to apply several changes in a single line of code? Any examples or best practices for chaining jQuery methods efficiently would be really helpful!

 You can chain multiple jQuery methods by calling them one after another on the same jQuery selector. This works because jQuery methods usually return the jQuery object itself, allowing you to perform multiple operations in sequence on the same element(s).

Suppose you want to select an element with the ID #myElement, change its background color to blue, add a class active, and then hide it:

$("#myElement")

    .css("background-color", "blue")

    .addClass("active")

    .hide();
