we normally write javascript in a seperate .js file and link it to the index.html...well that becomes unobtrusive JavaScript right???......why specially we use jquery rather than pure javascript to become obtrusive ?????? What i am thinking is>>>> unobtrusive------> seperate html from javascript this can be done by pure javascript.....why cant we use purejavascript?

But there are certain occasions when you might use an inline attribute to include your code. You can embed small snippets of JS inside script tags in the same way you'd reference an external file.
With regard to jQuery itself, I'm a fan as it has been around for a while and is one of the most stable JS libraries there is. It's up to you if you wish to use it but if you need more time to use "vanilla" or pure JS you should do that too. :-)

85 PointsUsing jquery make your life in coding more easier than coding pure JavaScript.If you can write the 10 lines of code of pure JavaScript in 4-5 lines in jquery than why should we consider to use pure JavaScript in place of jquery. But that totally depend on you If you want to use pure JavaScript or jquery.
