After sandbox is installed, all jQuery call is redirected in sandbox context (an iframe) and be reset after each test. You can use ‘_jQuery()’ or ‘_$()’ to call jQuery in jspec context.

Utility ‘sandbox()’ return a jQuery object from sandbox:

* sandbox() => return sandbox body
* sandbox('<p></p>') => append to sandboy body an `p' element and return it
* sandbox('my-fixture') => append a sandbox body the content of fixture file and return it (child of body element)
