I feel empathy for the OP, for two main reasons:

1) The fact that some people don't realize that JavaScript != jQuery scares me.

2) jQuery born when cross-browser compatibility was a mess and today it still carries that weight. I think nowadays it needs to be more modular and less monolithic.

DOM != Javascript

That's the thing you dont understand and makes you say silly things.
