Description

URL: http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors

The documentation for the tag selector should clarify that it matches on TAG name. The current wording "Matches all elements with the given name" could be interpreted as matching elements with a matching "name" attribute (i.e. like getElementsByName is supposed to do)

Replacing "name" with "tag name" should suffice. Note: The page is locked for editing.
