this notation $.jcarousel means you want to access that field, whether it be to set it to something else, or read the contents.
this notation in javascript  jcarousel: '0.2.3' is setting a key value pair where jcaraousel is the key and 0.2.3 is the value

does that make sense?

[jQuery] Syntax Explanation






jQuery right now is still like a foreign language to me.  I have
books, etc. but can someone tell me what's going on here:

   // Create shortcut for internal use
   var $jc = $.jcarousel;

   $jc.fn = $jc.prototype = {
       jcarousel: '0.2.3'
   };

what is prototype, and what is jcarousel: '0.2.3', is that just
setting some other variable's value?
