hm funny but i can't confirm that add and filter work as expected (not what i expected, at least). i have a website open in ffx2 / firebug and the only script loaded is jquery 1.2.6. then i do
>>> var d = $( '#logo' ) >>> d [div#logo.tab-me] >>> d.add( '#daisy2' ) [div#logo.tab-me, div#daisy2.daisy-display] >>> d [div#logo.tab-me] (lines with `>>>` are my input, others are results as shown by firebug). it looks like although the result of d.add() does include the new elements, d itself is not modifed. same with filter. so i would have to reassign d=d.add('...') to modify d. if this is what the developers intended, the docs do not fully clarify that IMHO. ps. google seems to think nobody in the world links to http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/tools/api-browser/ which i can't believe. why is jquery hiding away this documentation gem?
