How to get the context of a jQuery selector

Question

I'm using .live(), and I'm trying to debug a weird error where jQuery Tools Overlay breaks all of the .live handlers on the page, except for ones with the context (second argument of jQuery select $(selector, context)) specified. So my specific question is how to find where this context is when it's not specified.

Answer 1

Non-specified context defaults to document.

By default, selectors perform their searches within the DOM starting at the document root. However, an alternate context can be given for the search by using the optional second parameter to the $() function.
