Great suggestions Mike. I noticed that they were very similar but I was
too lazy to combine them but now you have challenged me, and I have
realized that just as with the immortals, there can be only one.
The code you modified was the original rewrite which didn't include the
additional passed arguments feature so my version of the rewrite is
slightly different but inspired by yours.

It's definitely a matter of taste, as I tend to prefer to use the jQuery
in plug-in development seeing as the ultimate result is intended for
much generic uses than my page specfici code so it brings me into a
different more methodical mindset.

That's probably because self was an afterthought. I always forget about
the intransitive nature of 'this' so my this closures are usually not
written until I realize I need them.

Well Actually it wouldn't have worked because I made a goof in my code!
Initially by setting interval to the result of jQuery.speed rather than
the duration property of the result. Noticed when testing the new code.
Here's the updated code (it'll probably be wrapped by my mail client):
jQuery.fn.extend({
every: function(interval,id,fn) {
return
jQuery.timer.add.apply(this,[false].concat(jQuery.map(arguments,"a")));
},
doin: function(interval,id,fn) {
return
jQuery.timer.add.apply(this,[true].concat(jQuery.map(arguments,"a")));
},
stop: function(id) {
return jQuery.timer.remove.apply(this,[id]);
}
});
jQuery.extend({
timer: {
add: function(oneOff,interval,id,fn) {
var args = jQuery.map(arguments,"a"), slice = 4;
return this.each(function() {
var self = this, counter = 0;
interval = jQuery.speed(interval)['duration'];
if (fn == undefined || id.constructor == Function) {
fn = id;
id = interval;
slice = 3;
}
if (!self.timers) self.timers = {};
if (!self.timers[id]) self.timers[id] = [];
self.timers[id].push(window.setInterval(function() {
if (oneOff && counter++ >= 1) return
jQuery(self).stop(id);
fn.apply(self,args.slice(slice));
},interval));
});
},
remove: function(id) {
return this.each(function() {
if (!this.timers) return;
jQuery.each(id == undefined ? this.timers :
[this.timers[id]], function(i) {
jQuery.each(this,function(j) {
window.clearInterval(this);
});
});
});
}
}
});
