Getting more than excepted with siblings().length
<p>I have the following html</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div id="myDiv"&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
    &lt;tbody&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>When I execute this jquery code</p>

<pre><code>var count = $('#myDiv table tbody tr').siblings().length;
</code></pre>

<p>I am expecting to get 8 as the value of count, instead I am getting 45. There is more html on the page than the area I have shown, and each of the above  elements hold various amounts of data. What am I missing?</p>
