Hey all, I am really starting to get into programming some jQuery stuff. I love what I see so far, but I want to get into programming some plugins. I have read the getting started with plugin info on the jQuery site and I am slowly coming around. I have thrown together my first plugin, which seems to work, but I wanted to get some feedback on it:

http://www.bennadel.com/blog/800-My-First-jQuery-Plugin.htm

The way it works is the function defined event handlers in the THIS scope of the jQuery object. Then, it binds events to those already-defined methods (as the event handlers). I am not sure if this is good to do because it alters the structure of the jQuery object itself. However, I am hesitant to define an anonymous function inside of the BIND methods as that will duplicate the event handler for each element in the jQuery stack (which seems hugely wasteful, unless I am totally missing something).

This seemed like the best way to get around not having a prototype method shared among all the jQuery stack elements.

Thanks. Please let me know if I am WAAAY off base or maybe on the right track. All feedback is appreciated. jQuery rocks :)
