Summary
In this chapter we have created, copied, reassembled, and embellished content using jQuery's DOM modification methods. We've applied these methods to a single web page, transforming a handful of generic paragraphs to a footnoted, pull-quoted, linked, and stylized literary excerpt.
Next up, we'll take a round-trip journey to the server via jQuery's Ajax methods.
Further reading
The topic of DOM manipulation will be explored in more detail in Chapter 12. A complete list of available DOM manipulation methods is available in Appendix C of this book, in jQuery Reference Guide, or in the official jQuery documentation at http://api.jquery.com/.
