I wanted to create an empty jQuery object and add elements to it for later use but I couldn't get it to work. Eventually I started experimenting and discovered the following:
var test = $('form').add ('li'); console.log (test); will return a jQuery object containing a list of forms plus a list of li elements. var test = $('form'); test.add ('li'); console.log (test); will return a jQuery object as well but this time it only contains the form elements. Is this what's supposed to happen or is it a bug? It happened with both 1.1.2 and 1.1.3a as the jQuery library.
