Hi, have a feeling this may be a silly question but here goes..
Test output from Firebug's console is below to explain my issue.
I select an array of divs by their parent:
divs = $("#sidebar > div").get()
[div#sidebar-search-tabcont, div#sidebar-events-tabcont]
I then want to find a particular one:
$("div", divs)
Object length=0 prevObject=Object jquery=1.2.6
Given that the 'expr' parameter to $(...) contains an array of divs,
why is using the selector "div" not returning anything from that?? Am
I misunderstanding expr?
Confused...

Hi Rob,
Your selector $('div', divs) is looking for all div elements contained
in any of the divs stored in your variable. So, it's like doing $
(divs).find('div') . I think you may have been expecting it to work
like $(divs).filter('div')? Do any of the divs selected by $("#sidebar
> div").get() have child divs? If not, the second selector shouldn't
be returning anything.
Hope that makes sense
