Pls I need clarification here!...can jQuery do absolutely everything JavaScript does??

Answer 1

jQuery is just a library.

To be more specific it is a js code that comes with many functions to make dom manipulation and so on easier. However since you will still be writing your own js code on top of it, there is certainly no limitations.

Don't get me wrong some functionalities are not offered by jQuery but jQuery does not stop you from doing those things with js
