With the techniques that we have covered in this chapter, we should now be able to style top-level and sub-level items in a nested list by using CSS selectors, apply different styles to different types of links by using XPath attribute selectors, add rudimentary striping to a table by using the custom jQuery selectors :odd and :even, and highlight text within certain table cells by chaining jQuery methods.

So far, we have been using the $(document).ready() event to add a class to a matched set of elements. In the next chapter, we’ll explore ways in which to add a class in response to a variety of user-initiated events.
