simple way (same as "$(document).ready(function(){"):
<script>
$(function(){
$('.target').css('background-color', 'yellow');
});
</script>
same as previous but with preventing $-conflicts with other js-frameworks:
<script>
jQuery(function($){
$('.target').css('background-color', 'yellow');
});
</script>
window-load (use this method when you need to manipulate with images; only in this way you can get the height of the images with js in chrome which are not yet loaded for example):
<script>
$(window).load(function() {
$('.target').css('background-color', 'yellow');
});
</script>
Finding elements:
<script>
jQuery('.target', this); // finding all target elements inside of the current element
jQuery(this).find('.target'); // same as previous
jQuery(this).children('.target'); // can be used if the target elements are direct descendants of the current element
</script>
jQuery selectors:
<script>
$('.target, .target2').css('background-color', 'yellow');
</script>
Creating html tags with jQuery:
<script>
$('<blockquote></blockquote>', {
class: 'quote',
text: $('.qq').text()
}).prependTo( $('.target') );
</script>
Move elements with jQuery:
<script>
$('h1').appendTo( $('.target') );
$('h2').after( $('.target') ); // or this way
</script>
