The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
jQuery apply()
Sometimes deep inside a DOM traversing chain you need a reference to plain current jQuery object. My extremely simple plugin allows you in such cases to call apply() method, which accepts a function (anonymous preferrably) and executes it immidiately, passing a current jQuery selection (not some DOM Element, but the whole Array-like jQuery object with current selection right inside) as this. Method returns the very same selection, so you may continue your chain just like after any other non-traversing method.
