I know this will make a lot of people very happy - a jQuery cheat sheet has been requested for a long time! Good job :)

Should probably be called 'jQuery Selector Cheat Sheet' as it only covers that topic. Useful though, thanks,

Yeah, as Ben said it is only jQuery "selectors" - which are basically CSS selectors with a few helpful additions.

This will be great to some other beginners, like me.

Hmm, maybe it would be good to have the methods listed with args too. This is what I look up the most.
