title: Target HTML Elements with Selectors Using jQuery
---
- JQuery selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML elements.
- These selectors start with the dollar sign and parentheses: $()
- You can "find" (or select) HTML elements based on their name, id, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes and much more.
## Example
```javascipt
//You can select all <p> elements on a page like this = $("p")
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").hide();
});
});
```
## Solution
```javascript
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button").addClass("animated bounce"); // We are selecting the button elements and adding "animated bounce" class to them.
});
</script>
```
