add() doesnt work as stated

.add( selector )Returns: jQuery

Description: Add elements to the set of matched elements.

.add( jQuery object )

jQuery object

Type: jQuery object

An existing jQuery object to add to the set of matched elements

add doesnt actually add other jquery elements in 1.9.1

see:

another bug, .add('#someid') does not seem to work either.

not sure what the actual functionality of add is, or how to add any elements to an object list

Please read the documentation.

The following will not save the added elements, because the .add() method creates a new set and leaves the original set in pdiv unchanged:

var pdiv = $("p");
pdiv.add("div");  // WRONG, pdiv will not change
