It may be removed without notice in a future version. The property was never a reliable indicator of the selector that could be used to obtain the set of elements currently contained in the jQuery set where it was a property, since subsequent traversal methods may have changed the set. Plugins that need to use a selector string within their plugin can require it as a parameter of the method. For example, a \"foo\" plugin could be written as <code>$.fn.foo = function( selector, options ) { /* plugin code goes here */ };</code>, and the person using the plugin would write <code>$( \"div.bar\" ).foo( \"div.bar\", {dog: \"bark\"} );</code> with the <code>\"div.bar\"</code> selector repeated as the first argument of <code>.foo()</code>.</p>\n  "}]}
