I've begun work on a Safari widget pack, that allows you to work with Safari
widgets in a way more jQuery way.

For example:

     var y =
$("#scrollArea").makeScrollAreaWithBars({singlepressScrollPixels: 50}, {id:
"scrollBar"}, {id: "horizBar"})
       .bind("mouseover", function() { y.focus(); }).bind("mouseout",
function() { y.blur(); })
     z = $("button").makeGlassButton();
     z[0].click(function() { y.horizontalScrollbar().toggleAutohide(); });
     z[1].click(function() { y.verticalScrollbar().toggle(); })

The above code does the following:

Line 1: Converts a div with id scrollArea into an AppleScrollArea with
horizontal and vertical scrollBars (with attributes provided)
Line 2: binds a mouseover event to the newly created scrollArea widget and
then a mouseout event
Line 3: Converts all buttons on the page into glass buttons, and returns an
array of the new glass buttons
Line 4: Gets the first glassButton and binds a click handler which toggles
the autohide on the scrollArea's horizontal scrollbar
Line 5: Gets the second glassButon and binds a click handler which toggles
the vertical scrollbar

This would obviously be way more than 5 lines if you used the Apple API ;)

The files are in the plugins in svn under safari_widgets. There's still a
lot of work to do, but I wanted to get some feedback on the work I did. The
best way to look at it is to open the HTML file that's packed with the svn.
You'll need OSX 10.4.3 or higher.

Thanks!
