Glen,
As per jQuery docs, attr() method retrieves the attribute of the first
matched element. Hope that clears the confusion.

The two lines are confusing me a little.
Setting a variable our of a jQuery object:
var jElement = $("SOME CSS");
This finds all of the nodes that match the "SOME CSS" selector and puts
them in a jQuery object called jElement.
It could be 1 element or many depending on how many it finds that match.
alert(jElement.attr("id")); would pop up [object object] if it was more
than one in the array.
