To be fair, I think the jQuery API documentation is sorely lacking, when
compared to say, php.net (I know they're not on the same scale, but e.g. the
ability to comment documentation and add additional examples is very
useful.)
e.g.
The 'defiinition' of $ <http://jquery.com/api/#$>( ElementThe Javascript
object representation of a DOM Element.
|Array<Element>An Array of DOM Elements.
elemsDOM element(s) to be encapsulated by a jQuery object.
) returns jQuery is:
"Wrap jQuery functionality around a single or multiple DOM Element(s)."
That sentence is not very explicatory: you could not have got Chris's
example from having read that. I'm still a newbie myself, and don't have the
knowledge yet to extend the API documentation - I'll be happy to, once I
know more.
I'm reading JAKE's comments as sarcastic, so I agree: trawling through old
forum conversations can be useful, but it's much better to help people, if
you're going to take the time to post anything at all.
