The context may differ if, for example, the object was created by searching within an <code>&lt;iframe&gt;</code> or XML document.</p>\n    <p>Note that the context property may only apply to the elements originally selected by <code>jQuery()</code>, as it is possible for the user to add elements to the collection via methods such as <code>.add()</code> and these may have a different context.</p>\n  "}]}
