[jQuery] Drive jQuery plugin: a new kind of DOM builder

[lfortin]

Hi all,


I have recently released a beta version of my new plugin, the Drive
jQuery plugin.

This plugin is a new kind of DOM builder: it allows you to construct
the DOM using basic jQuery selectors.
It searches for elements, and if none is found, it attempts to create
them.


For example, assuming a default element tag = 'div':

$('#element1 > #element2.class1 > span#element3.class2 > img').drive
( );

is the equivalent of:

$('#element1').append(
    $('<div id="element2" />')
        .addClass('class1')
            .append(
                $('<span id="element3" />')
                    .addClass('class2')
                        .append($('<img />'))
            )
);


I need people to try and test my plugin :-)
