Class selectors are prefixed with a dot  Your  find   is missing that so jQuery thinks you re looking for  lt myClass gt  elements   var myVar       start   find   myClass   val

var myVar       start   find  myClass   val     needs to be  var myVar       start   find   myClass   val     Remember the CSS selector rules require     if selecting by class name  The absence of     is interpreted to mean searching for  lt myclass gt  lt  myclass gt
