4. Accessing HTML Elements
The most important part of dynamic web development is the ability to access the DOM elements quickly and efficiently. JavaScript inherently provides functionality to access the DOM elements.

At times you will need to use JavaScript methods to access the DOM elements, but when possible I recommend using jQuery.
The phrases in this chapter cover both the JavaScript and jQuery selector methods to find DOM elements.
