Ah, so extensions are the way to go. Cool, I'll take a look at those.
@Kean: Actually, I'm trying to keep my $(document).ready(function()
{}); as clean as possible. I prefer to use it instead of my old init
() function and call as much functionality as possible via outside
functions instead of putting it all between those brackets. Seems
like I'll have to re-write those outside functions as jQuery
extensions, which is good to know but which also surprises me a lot
(I'd expect a "make things easier"-framework to be able to better
handle something so basic as calling another non-jQuery function with
arguments).
Thanks all!
