Here is the list of most commonly used jQuery API functions:
- find(): Selects elements based on the provided selector string
- hide(): Hides an element if it was visible
- show(): Shows an element if it was hidden
- html(): Gets or sets an inner HTML of an element
- append() Injects an element into the DOM after the selected element
- prepend() Injects an element into the DOM before the selected element
- on(): Attaches an event listener to an element
- off() Detaches an event listener from an element
- css(): Gets or sets the style attribute value of an element
- attr() Gets or sets any attribute of an element
- val(): Gets or sets the value attribute of an element

append appends inside the selected element in the last position.
Ditto for prepend, only at the start. Useful list though :-).
