title: Removing comments and text nodes from jQuery collection
body: <pre><code>$html = $("&lt;!-- comment --&gt; &lt;p&gt;text&lt;/p&gt;");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>creates a jQuery collection like so</p>
  
  <pre><code>$( [the comment], [text node], p )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I access the paragraph only? .find("p") returns an empty collection</p>
  
  <p>And, for extra points, </p>
  
  <pre><code>$html = $("&lt;p&gt;text&lt;/p&gt;");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>creates a jQuery collection like so</p>
  
  <pre><code>$( p )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a fail safe way to get at the p, and only the p, that works whether the comment is there or not? </p>
