Danny's response is fully correct and in fact while I was looking at your example, I was thinking about how we would support this natively and came to pretty much the same conclusion as Danny. If one of you wants to create a feature request in Trac ( http://ui.jquery.com/bugs/newticket ), we'll try to get this in for 1.7.
