Question about javascript event handler syntax
<p>My question appears to have been deleted yesterday before it could be answered, so I'm starting a new thread on the subject.</p>

<p>I've been trying to find cross-browser resize javascript, and ran across this syntax in one answer posted here:</p>

<pre><code>$(window).resize(function()
</code></pre>

<p>I'm afraid I don't understand the syntax <code>$(window).</code>.  Is that something specific to jquery?</p>
