As per the docs (http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing/add),
$("div").css("border", "2px solid red")
.add("p")
.css("background", "yellow");
That will add a 2px red border around any 'div' element.
Then add in a new selector and grab all of the <p> elements. Add a yellow
background to the previously selected <div> elements, as well as the newly
selected <p> elements.
Does that clarify add()?
I'm not sure I understand what it is you're trying to accomplish. Can you
explain what you need to do?

I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my
wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
