syntactic form $('foobar')

1 New Member
hello,

in the code scrap:
$('foobar').remove();

what does the syntactic form $('foobar') mean?

what is it called and where can it be found in the documentation?

i can not find it in the ecmascript standard 5.1:
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf
maybe because i do not know what it is called
- but searching on '$(' does not turn up anything relevant.

i can not find it in the ecmascript standard 5.1:
that’s because it is a call to a JavaScript framework (jQuery, prototype). check the framework’s documentation for the exact description.

$('foobar').remove(); means: apply the remove() method (corresponds to DOM’s removeChild()) to every <foobar> element.
