Maybe it would be better to return the index of the element in a new
jQuery obj from selector only if elem === undefined....
Regardin jQuery.inArray maybe it would be useful to heve an
jQuery.lastInArray too. Maybe with start/end index as the thrd
argument?
Something like this:
jQuery.inArray = Array.indexOf ? //some browsers have this
function(elem, array, i) {
return Array.indexOf(array, elem, i);
} :
function(array, elem, i) {
var l = array.length;
i = i === undefined ? 0 :
i < 0 ? Math.ceil(i) + l :
Math.floor(i);
for (; i < l; ++i)
if (array[i] === elem)
return i;
return -1;
};
jQuery.lastInArray = Array.lastIndexOf ? //some browsers have this
function(elem, array, i) {
return Array.lastIndexOf(array, elem, i);
} :
function(elem, array, i) {
var l = array.length
i = i === undefined ? l-1 :
i < 0 ? Math.ceil(i) + l :
Math.floor(i);
while ( i )
if ( seq[--i] === value )
return i;
return -1;
}
Thoughts?
