It was my understanding that performing a query like jQuery(a, b) would give you a jQuery collection containing the union of jQuery(a) and jQuery(b). However, I encountered this situation:

jQuery(somediv).length ==> 1
jQuery('td').length ==> over 600
jQuery('td', somediv).length ==> 1 (the div)

What’s going on?

    jQuery(a, b) means find all elements jQuery(a) containing in jQuery(b).

    it is more like jQuery(b).find(a)

    So in your case jQuery('td', somediv).length returns number of td‘s in somediv
