This issue applies to jQuery 1.2.6. It might have been fixed in later versions.
I experienced this in a script where I made a selection of list-elements allocated in a variable that I wanted to work with. I used hide(), and show() and the selector :first and :last. When I hide and then showed an element it suddenly moved to the end of the list when it originally was at the beginning of the list. When I then used :first to point to the first element, I got the second because it had moved. To solve this I had to do the selection over again instead of using the variable holding the selection. So don’t use a variable to hold your selection when you want to use :first and :last. Do a new selection instead.

Sometimes when working with Ajax one needs to send some metadata in addition to the normal response.

This is usually the case when the response is HTML or text and is quite common in other libraries, like prototype.

The problem in jQuery is that one can only access the response and status in the callback function “success”.

This is easily altered, but it must be done in the library itself.
