I go over some code and I saw the following code 

  var failedExtPlugins = PluginR.$getFailPlug();

It seems that this time the $ is not refer to jquery object (yes I know that when you use Jquery you start with $) I guess,so what does it mean? it look like regular method...but way the use $

  • @sriniprash- I know that you can define varibale but I dont think that this is the case... – SagitB Dec 26 '14 at 07:50
  • In JS the `$` is an ordinary character in variable names, just like the `_`. Anyone can use it for any purpose. It has no exclusive connection to jQuery. – Tomalak Dec 26 '14 at 09:25

It looks just like a part of a name. I like to use $ in a name of jQuery objects I have. Maybe author has some thoughts about that.

Its a jQuery wrapped object. $ObjectName reflects that its holding a reference of jQuery wrapped object of particular dom object. For Example: 

var $obj = $("#SomeId");
