I dont think it is possible Stephan. jquery core requires the plugin method to be part of the $.fn (which is jQuery.prototype internally). This way jQuery will be able to call the method in the context of the jquery object itself. This is how we get "this" to represent the jQuery object itself. I also wish there was a way to have our own namespaces. But atleast couldn't find a working solution.
But if you wanted to create direct $.myPlugin plugins (like $.ajax). You can have these in ur namespaces. Coz, there is no need for "this" reference here. -GTG On 8/14/07, Stephan Beal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Aug 14, 4:05 pm, "Benjamin Sterling" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Stephan, > > I believe it is possible, M.
