[jQuery] Creating an empty jQuery collection

[jQuery] Creating an empty jQuery collection


Is there an elegant way to create an empty jQuery collection? The only
way I've figured out to do it is like this:
var jqObjects = $(this).not(this);
This seems rather stupid to me. There should be a simpler way.
I need this so that I can fill it with jQuery objects that I create
inside a loop, and then I return the entire collection.
Thanks,
Larry
