[jQuery] parents() clears vars
I have the following funtion:
function foo() {
console.log( arguments ); // --> OK
var e = arguments[0];
console.log( e ); // --> OK
var p = arguments[0].parents( 'li' ); // --> problem occurs ONLY if
this selection is empty
// and empty
selection is legit in my case
// same
behavior also when var p = e.parents( 'li' ) ;
console.log( arguments ); // --> if p.empty --> [ ], else OK
console.log( e ); // --> if p.empty --> [ ], else OK
console.log( p ); // --> OK
}
What am I missing?
Thank you.
