Can everything that can be done with JavaScript, also be done with Jquery?

Tittle says it all.

jQuery is a JavaScript library, not its own language: everything jQuery can do **is** done in JavaScript.

@traq I already know that. But i’ve seen some complex stuff done with javascript that i could not imagine could be done with simple Jquery. But i got my answer. Thanks

What I’m getting at is that “either/or” questions are meaningless when you’re dealing with subsets. How do you define using jQuery “without” regular javascript?

What’s the difference between this

var el = document.getElementById(“outside”);
el.addEventListener(“click”, someCrazyImpossibleUsingJQueryFunction, false);

and this

$( “#outside” ).click( someCrazyImpossibleUsingJQueryFunction );

?

Does the second example “use jQuery”?

I think he wants to know if there are things jQuery can’t do. I’d say yes: Canvas stuff.

@HugoGiraudel that’s what i meant.
