jquery find versus context selection

Question

Having the following html snippet

<div class="something">
    <p>Some text</p>
</div>
<div class="somethingElse">
    <p>some other text</p>
</div>

I think the following jquery snippets are identical (will have the same result):

$(".something").find("p").css("border", "1px solid red");

$("p", ".something").css("border", "1px solid red");

My question is, whether one snippet is better than the other and should be used

Answer 1

Both calls are identical. The latter call is translated into the former one. If you want to omit the translation step, use the former one.
