#2 =)))))))))))
#3 I think the difference consists in:
- children() finds direct descendants
- find() finds ALL the descendants (the children, the children of
children, and so on)
#1 maybe you can do it...but I never tried (BUT THERE ARE SOME USEFUL
PLUGINS)
var e = $("document").append("<fieldset></
fieldset>").children("fieldset").filter(":last");
e.attr({
id: "myid",
...
});
I cannot answer your last question, cause I don't know the response =)
