I need to write a blog entry titled "How I Learned To > Stop Worrying And Love The jQuery"! > No, I don't like the idea of forking either.... in fact it is infuriating. This is not a community that is going to balk at your changes. jQuery can easily be extended with your own methods. Its core functionality can also be changed. You can make these changes available to us without forking the thing & splitting a community. See the dimensions plugin in how it extends the $.width() & $.height() methods for an example;

There is one in tablesorter. There is also one available in rikrikrik's most excellent quicksearch plugin; http://rikrikrik.com/jquery/quicksearch/ I've pulled some of that code out so it can be adapted via $('#table').stripe(); > I've found a version of a "Cheat Sheet" but it's not nearly as cool as the > latest Prototype cheat sheet.

The API is *very* small & easily remembered after a solid weeks worth of coding in jQ. If having an eye candy drop cloth over something is your reason for using a technology, god help you. I look forward to your work. ~ Brice _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
