Re: [jQuery] ISO docs for $.fn ?
Thanks, John. And thanks for jQuery. Beautiful piece of work. kj On 3/4/07, John Resig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kynn - Documentation on $.extend can be found here: http://docs.jquery.com/JavaScript and information on using $.fn.extend can be found here: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring In jQuery $.fn.extend is used in plugin authoring, adding new methods to jQuery. The relationship in jQuery is like this: jQuery and $ are identical. jQuery.fn and $.fn are identical. jQuery.fn and jQuery.prototype are identical. jQuery.extend and jQuery.fn.extend are nearly identical, but when you pass in a single object of properties, jQuery.extend will extend the jQuery object with properties whereas jQuery.fn.extend will extend the jQuery.fn object (and thus add new methods to the jQuery core). All of that being said, if you're just getting started with jQuery, you're probably not going to have to worry about any of this. --John On 3/4/07, Kynn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi.

All of that being said, if you're just getting started with jQuery, you're probably not going to have to worry about any of this. I should say, though, that if you're already digging into Plugin development, then scratch my statement! --John ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
Re: [jQuery] ISO docs for $.fn ?
This info couldn't have been more timely for me, as soon as I started playing with jQuery my first reaction was to mix in my homebrew code. It was very easy, although now I'm trying to extend it and the distinctions you gave were great. One question though: is there a proper way to check for a preexisting member or method (other than typeof)?
