I understand where you are coming from on the querying side, but shouldn't calling a method on an empty object fail? How can I fade in...nothing? I'm going to still think of this as a huge design flaw. There needs to be a way to specify that it should fail on empty results. /s for strict or whatever. This post is for 1) bitching purposes and 2) indexing purposes so that future searchers find definitive proof that jquery fails silently and that this is not considered a bug, despite obvious appearances.
