The doc is very clear ... it's the way I tried to use it that yield a result I can't make sense of : <a href="foo">foo</a> + $(":contains(<a href="foo">foo</a>)") ) => [a foo] (1) <a href="foo">foo</a> + $("a:contains(foo") ) => [a foo] (2) for some reason with (2) I can chain commands but not with (1) ... (1) appear faded in Firebug. Thanks, EuGeNe -- http://www.3kwa.com
