Hmmm ... you don't expect your CSS queries to throw an error if they don't
match an element do you? It'd be silly if it did. Then you'd need
a separate style sheet for each page instead of making good use of reusing
styles. Same goes for jQuery code. Matching zero or more elements is a
corner stone of being able to progressively enhance your web site/app with
unobtrusive javascript.
