JQuery syntax confusion
<p>I am almost new to JQuery. So please forgive if it is trivial. </p>

<p>What does this mean in JQuery: var Utilities = $([]);</p>

<p>Is this like defining an array? Any links to an example?</p>

<p>Some more info: After defining that in the code I see:</p>

<pre><code>Utilities.Message = ' some message';
Utilities.function1 = function(message) { some code };
Utilities.function2 = function() { some code};
</code></pre>

<p>calling the method: Utilities.function2(); </p>

<p>Thanks,
-Sara.</p>
