Perhaps this is naive of me, but I was expecting this to work:
$(this).nextAll('a').andSelf().removeClass
('star_selected').triggerHandler('mouseout');
It is used in a rating system I wrote, where there are 5 <a> tags in
a row. If you click on one, this fires (adds a class name on all
previous and this one, and fires the mouseout event). It works just
fine for stars 1-4, but fails on #5. The reason is obvious, in that #5
has no nextAll, but I would not have thought that it alone would break
the chain. IF I do this, it works:
$(this).nextAll('a').removeClass('star_selected');
$(this).removeClass('star_selected').triggerHandler('mouseout');
But I do not wish to repeat myself with the removeClass part. The
mouseout needs to be fired last, so I cannot simply reorder the
original. Any idea how this can be done in one statement, without
repeating myself?
