jQuery – All Selector (“*”) – Universal Selector

jQuery all ("*") selector selects all elements in the document, including html, head and body.

Syntax : $("*")

• The all selector is extremely slow so use carefully.
• If your browser has an extension/add-on enabled that inserts a script or link element into the DOM, that element will be counted as well.

See the Pen jQuery – All Selector by Lokesh (@howtodoinjava) on CodePen.

If the ("*") selector is used together with another element, it selects all child elements within the specified element.

e.g. Below all selector will select all elements inside #ul.

Syntax : $("ul *")
