jQuery * Wildcard Selectors

jQuery Selectors

All selectors match each individual element on the page.

All selectors use the asterisk (**); Declaration.

All selectors can also select all elements within another element (see the following "Example" for details).

Syntax:

$("*)

Example

Select each element in the document (including head, body, etc.):

$(document).ready(function(){
　　$("*").css("background-color", "lightgreen");
});

Select all elements within the body to exclude elements such as head, script, title, etc.:

$(document).ready(function(){
　　$("body　*").css("background-color", "lightgreen");
});
