Thanks James.
In the example i was considering an 'a' element with one of its
parents with class myClass. If the filter isn't meant to work that way
i guess i will have to use the $() function instead.
But then again, if the filters only apply to the element, why does it
filter nothing regardless of the filter if it contains spaces ?.
Shouldn't the filter return nothing if the expression cannot be
evaluated ?(fail safe rather than silently)
