What's the difference between $ ('. Classname') and $ .find ('. Classname')
$('.classname')
will search the DOM for elements with a class classname
and
$.find('.classname')
will give you the error of doing nothing, why

I can not tell you,
but you can see the source code for $. find and $. fn.find
$.find
This is a technique used by jQuery itself and is not recommended for use as a query selector.
$.fn.find
Refers to $.find
in the main structure: (where this
is a jQuery object)
var ret = this.pushStack("", "find", selector),
length, n, r;
for (i = 0, l = this.length; i < l; i++) {
length = ret.length;
jQuery.find(selector, this[i], ret);

$('.classname')
will return a list of all the elements with that class name in the document so that they can be iterated over with .each()
.
$.find('.classname')
searches the dom tree and returns class events. But you will need to provide a parent, for example:
$(document).find('.classname')
