What is Chaining in jQuery?

- Chaining is very powerful feature of jQuery.

- Chaining means specifying multiple function and/or selectors to an element.

- Examine the below example

$(document).ready(function(){

$('#mydiv').css('color', 'blue');

$('#mydiv').addClass('myclass');

$('#mydiv').fadeIn('fast');

}

By using chaining we can write above code as follows

$(document).ready(function(){

$('#mydiv').css('color', 'blue').addClass('myclass').fadeIn('fast');

});

-Advantage of chaining is that it makes your code simple and simple to manage.

-The execution becomes faster because the code search for the element only once.
