What a bout a garbage collector prototype method? Is there any plugin like this?
garbage:(function(splice){ return function(){ var length = this.length; while(length){ if(!contains(this.context, this[--length])) splice.call(this, length, 1); }; return this; }; })(Array.prototype.splice), The problem is that to use the jQuery contains function it requires to be inside the library since if I am not wrong contains is not exposed.
