Liam,

Right, but that defeats the point of "caching" the jQuery object that
was created by:

var pError = $('p.error');

Since I'm just calling it again with a different selector, namely,
the :visible one.

Or pError.filter(':visible').

By using 'pError' as a context, you are looking for it's children, not
the elements themselves.

[Liam Potter]

it would be this

$('p.error:visible')

If I have the following:

var pError = $('p.error');

Then I can do the following with no problem:

pError.text('lorem");

Yet, I want to check for the paragraphs that have the class "error"
that are visible, I would think it is something like this:

var visibleError = $(':visible', pError);

However, this fails.

Is this because the visible selector is different in creating the
wrapped set of paragraph tags with the class error?

What is the proper way of using the context of pError with the visible
selector?

Thanks!
