I am a big believer in reading the source. All the documentation about how a particular method behaves is there. I agree that some of it may be private behavior or methods, but it's better to ask "is it safe to use toggleClass" or "should toggleClass behave like this" than "does toggleClass exist?" You'll see toggleClass used quite a bit in responses posted on this list, so really even that is answered by some searching. Most of the methods in jQuery are a dozen lines or less--admittedly sometimes a dense dozen lines but still it's generally possible to figure out what's going on. Except for the fx module. That is a module for laying down and avoiding! It looks like John's gotten a great start on the reference documentation (see the "Early Docs Prototype" thread). I'd also like to see a how-to and FAQ, much of it based on the questions and answers posted on this list. is anyone working on that? If so I'd like to help. If not I'd like to start! _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
