Here's the code I believe you're referring to: var newText = $("p").text().split(" ").join("</span> <span>"); newText = "<span>" + newText + "</span>"; $("p").html(newText) .find("span") .hover(function () { $(this).addClass("hilite"); }, function () { $(this).removeClass("hilite"); }) .end() .find(":contains('t')") .css({"font-style":"italic", "font-weight":"bolder"}); The first .find() get spans that are descendants of the p at the beginning of the chain. The .end() in the middle pops us back up to the 'p' so the next .find() is again searching descendants of the 'p'. - Richard
