11,739 Pointsjquery plugin sticky "Email Us" class type email-text.
In the sticky jquery plugin lesson. Dave adds the email us feature to the sticky plugin. I understand everything he does except for the extra bit of code he adds at the end in the main.js file.
$(this).append(' <a href="mailto:email@website.com" class="email-text">Email us</a>');
why did he need to add a class "email-text"? and WHAT is that last "Email$nbsp;us" all about???
