[jQuery] Simple Selector Question -- Context

[jQuery] Simple Selector Question -- Context


If I have the following:
var pError = $('p.error');
Then I can do the following with no problem:
pError.text('lorem");
Yet, I want to check for the paragraphs that have the class "error"
that are visible, I would think it is something like this:
var visibleError = $(':visible', pError);
However, this fails.
Is this because the visible selector is different in creating the
wrapped set of paragraph tags with the class error?
What is the proper way of using the context of pError with the visible
selector?
Thanks!
