Most impressive shortening of javascript > jquery!

Most impressive shortening of javascript > jquery!

Can anyone point me (or paste in) to a really good example of how jquery can shorten the amount of code required to perform simple tasks versus javascript.

I remember when the frameworks started to emerge there were lots of good examples, however I can't seem to find them now!

What I mean is, eg to make x effect in javascript requires 18 lines of code, jquery requires 1 line...

Anyone help?
