"Adding styles to HTML elements using jQuery" refers to manipulating the styles of HTML elements using the jQuery library.


jQuery is used to select specific paragraphs with the class "para" and apply different CSS styles. The first paragraph is styled with a red color, while the second is styled with a yellow color.

  1. The jQuery library is included in the head of the HTML document using a script tag that points to an external source.
  2. The paragraphs are selected using jQuery's selector syntax and the .para class.
  3. The .css() method is used to apply the desired CSS styles to the selected paragraphs.
  4. The code is placed inside a script tag within the body of the HTML document.


This technique of adding styles to HTML elements using jQuery can be beneficial in several ways:

  1. It allows for dynamic styling of elements on a webpage based on user interaction or other events, enhancing the user experience.
  2. It simplifies the process of changing the appearance of elements on a webpage without having to edit the CSS file manually.
  3. It can improve the performance of a webpage by reducing the amount of code required to achieve certain effects.
  4. It can help maintain consistency in the design of a webpage by applying styles consistently to specific elements.


This technique can be beneficial for web developers as it allows for creating dynamic effects and simplifies the process of changing the appearance of elements on a webpage without editing the CSS file. Additionally, it can improve the performance of a webpage by reducing the amount of code required to achieve certain effects and help maintain consistency in the design of a webpage.
