Adding jQuery objects to an empty one

Question

I'm trying to iterate thru a list of radio butons in order to find the matching labels and constructing a new object from them, but with this code I'm only getting the first label

$target=$();

$radio.each(function(){
    $target = $target.add($source.children('label[for="'+$radio.attr("id")+'"]'));
})

$radio.attr("id") will only get the first elements id in the collection.. try using $(this) or the second argument in the .each() function(index,Element)

$radio.each(function(){
    $target = $target.add($source.children('label[for="'+$(this).attr("id")+'"]'));
})

or

$radio.each(function(i,v){
    $target = $target.add($source.children('label[for="'+$(v).attr("id")+'"]'));
})

you can even access it directly by doing this.id or v.id instead of using .attr('id')
