jQuery is JavaScript, so the question is irrelevant.

Hi Akshay,
Java script is a scripting language.JavaScript is the common term for a combination of the ECMAScript programming language plus some means for accessing a web browser's windows and the document object model (DOM). JQuery are made from Java script.JQuery is a JavaScript library that handles many commonly used features and also handles the differences between, e.g., Internet Explorer and standards-compliant browsers. It's something you can use to reduce the amount of work when creating web-based applications. JQuery is great library for developing ajax based application.
It helps the programmers to keep code simple and concise and reusable.
JQuery library simplifies the process of traversal of HTML DOM tree.
JQuery can also handle events, perform animation, and add the Ajax support in web applications.
Thanks

Yes, Satyapriya, ECMAScript is a standardized version of JavaScript. There are many versions of JavaScript mainly because the other versions existed before the standard existed. I am sorry to say however that I do not think that JavaScript is the common term for a combination of ECMAScript plus some means for accessing a web browser's windows and the DOM. As far as I know, in most JavaScript versions the DOM is accessed using a separate library.
It can be confusing since in a browser there are objects such as the document and window objects that are browser objects. I am not aware of anything in the JavaScript language however that is special for using those objects. VBScript for example also has objects defined for it that are for using the DOM but I am not aware of anything special in the VBScript language that is used in a HTML page.
