Comment Comment by Groxx I like it a lot. It would also simplify the ".end()" function in jQuery[1], because you could control it with indentation: $('.class') .find('.sub') .remove() .find('.stuff') .addClass('other') .find('.more_stuff') .removeClass('things') .filter('li') .appendTo('#my_list') [1]: http://api.jquery.com/end/ parent Groxx 15 years ago
