Hi, Rayn :handshake: :o)
I think, for shorthand notation (some say for readability, but I think
otherwise),
some set var's (variables) to represent pieces of code, for instance:
var mySet = '$(mySet)'
and then use it as:
mySet.find(':text')...
Written in "longhand", it would be:
$('mySet').find(':text')...
When trying to read someone else's code, where this shorthand is use
extensively,
I just find it hard to decipher, since I have to trace all the var's down to
find
out what they stand for...
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...
Rick

Thanks Ryan :handshake:
so mySet.find(':text').each(...) would be right and
$(mySet).find(':text').each(...) not? :confused:
In examples I often see (within an each function): $(this).something but also
this.something
Still dont get the difference of use :,(
