It's supposed to treat any array-like thing as a collection of DOM nodes, and to paraphrase those villians on Scooby Doo it would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that pesky Safari. It doesn't change the incoming arguments in any way, it just copies them to a real Array. > To verify this one could try: > > var elems = []; > for (var i = 0; i < theForm.elements.length; i++) > elems.push(theForm.elements[i]); > > alert( $(elems) ); That should work fine, if it behaves like it did a week ago with a similar problem. It looks like Safari had a digestive problem with expression !theForm.elements.nodeType, although it did understand that nodeType was undefined according to the error message it gave. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
