Am I using too much jQuery? When am I crossing the line?

You’re crossing the line if you’re using jQuery to do things that can be done easily without jQuery. jQuery’s purpose is to make life easier, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of compatibility or usability.

jQuery most certainly shouldn’t be used as a replacement for CSS — think of the users who have JavaScript disabled.
