[jQuery] Re: Splitting long lists

[Alex]

See! I *knew* there was a better way. Thanks for the example - it
works like a charm and I learned a new math function. It did take me a
minute to spot your typo - a comma and period seriously need to be
more than two pixels different:

var to = jQuery(''),attr({id:list+'-b',class:cssClass})


Thanks much!

A possible alternative (untested!) to ponder upon...

function balance(list,cssClass){
 // new second 'half' of list...
var to = jQuery(''),attr({id:list+'-b',class:cssClass})
 // original list, with new id and class, and new list placed
after...
   , from = jQuery('#'+list).attr({id:list+'-
a'}).addClass(cssClass).after(to)
 // list of items...
   , items = jQuery('li', from)
   ;
// move bottom 'half' of list from from to to...
to.append( items.slice(Math.ceil(items.length/2), items.length) );
}

Another patch, as I realized I needed to round the number of list
items, otherwise it wouldn't work with uneven lists. Replace

var itemsLength = items.length/2;

with

var itemsLength = Math.round(items.length/2);

Just ran into this bug in IE 6 and 7: using "class" trigger's IE's
reserved keyword garbage, so one improvement should be replacing the
variable "class" with anything else - maybe "cssClass".
