What jQuery say about themselves on their website:
jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation,
event handling, animation,
and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility
and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.

Looking at Infinite Scroll again it would seem that I need to learn a bit of jQuery.
jQuery seems to offer many features that I could use on some of my pages. The Tutorial looks like worth working through.

jQuery is a Javascript Linrary of functions and scripts that I came across when I was looking at the code needed for a
Timed Modal.
No doubt using jQuery may make some of what I am trying to do here a little simpler, but for now I am just recognising that it is there if I need to use it and to put references to it into context.
I am using jQuery library featurs in my attempts at Timed Modals and emulation of tabs that look similar to
Wikipedia (also the Hoverboxes).
jQuery certainly looks useful for what I want to do, the manipulation of the DOM for example

I have only used jQuery in examples that illustrate other programing techniques on this website.
The W3C website has a tutorial for the use of jQuery.
jQuery UI
There is some interesting stuff here. Interactions, Widgets, Effects and Utilities.
jQuery UI is a curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of the jQuery
JavaScript Library. Whether you're building highly interactive web
applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.
