Javascript JQuery chaining

Let's say we have :

$("p")[0].innerHTML;

and 

$("p").html();

In the above examples, we have the same result. So I was wondering how can JQuery return both the nodelist and itself to allow chaining ?

Solution

  • So I was wondering how can JQuery return both the nodelist and itself to allow chaining ?

    It doesn't.

    It only returns itself (which it an object).

    That object has a property called 0 which contains the first element in the array of elements. It also has a property called html which contains a function.
