And jQuery does not provide much wrt. ECMAScript; it is mostly concerned with the DOM and some other browser functionality (such as XHR). I suggest you learn to differentiate between the language (ECMAScript) and its host environment (e.g. a browser). See also <http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/>. -- Christoph M. Becker
