[jQuery] can this cool feature be done w/ jQuery

[Bhaarat Sharma]

Hello,

I was browsing through slasdot and came across a cool feature.

If you go to this link 
http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05/13/2023250
you will notice that in the left side panel there is a widget. This
lets you filter your comments and comments on the right hand side are
dynamically controlled.

I looked up the page source and just saw this. Dont know what this is
but surely isnt jquery. Was wondering if someone knows if this can be
achieved with jquery. or if there is a plugin that comes close to
this?

<script type="text/javascript">
gCommentControlWidget = null;

YAHOO.slashdot.ThresholdApp = function() {
  return {
    init: function() {
      gCommentControlWidget = new YAHOO.slashdot.ThresholdWidget();
      gCommentControlWidget.setTHT(user_threshold,
user_highlightthresh);
    }
  };
}();

YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(window, "load",
YAHOO.slashdot.ThresholdApp.init);
</script>
