Thanks I see. I'm newbie to jQuery, I have some interestring in adding
some extension to jQuery. But for plugin, I understand a jQuery object
will encapuslate one or more dom elements(I'm right?), and plugin will
also process these objects. But for string, array, etc, maybe not the
dom element, so how to understand:
$(['aaa', 'bbb']) or $('aaa')
So direct plugin maybe not suitable, but how about:
$.list(['aaa', 'bbb']) or $.str('aaa')
I borrow 'list' and 'str' from python(I'm a big python fan). If these
could be a reasonable syntax format, I'll try to make such extension.
But because I'm a newbie to jQuery, there are should be many problems
in front of the way I think.
