What if you had a trifecta of functions:
.every()
.in()
.stop()
and allow for function calls like this:
.every( 100, "text", function(){
if ( !$(this).val() )
$(this).stop("text");
});
or if you don't care about a name:
.in( "slow", function(){
$(this).hide();
})
.mouseover(function(){
$(this).stop();
});
or if you wanna get really interesting, make it so that you can stop
function calls by how long their timer is set for:
.every( 500, function(){
$("#foo").load("test.html");
})
.every( 100, function(){
if ( !$(this).val() )
$(this).stop(100);
});
Just throwing out some ideas, let me know which ones stick.
