jQuery each element

Question

I'm curious why this code is invalid:

$.each( $("p") ).css("color", "green");

While this code works fine:

$.each($("p"), function() { $(this).css("color", "green") });

Is it not possible to chain elements with each?

Answer 1

Note that no version of each is needed to achieve the (most likely) desired effect.

$("p").css("color", "green");

does the job.
