Description

this is a case where append() and appendTo() are not functionally equivalent.

this happens when appending a jQuery object from an array of jQuery objects, and potentially other collections. i'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or not; i can't make up my mind.

var stack = [

$('<div />')

, $('<div />')

, $('<div />')

];

does not work

$('#target').append($(stack));

works

$(stack).appendTo('#target');

Well for one thing, an array passed to $() should be an array of DOM elements. There is no jQuery() signature that takes an array of jQuery objects.
