What are you the most excited about in the new versions of jQuery? [closed]

Solution 1:

Believe it or not, the "FINALLY" moment for me was the addition of delay():

$("#notice").slideDown('500').delay(4000).slideUp('500'); // = Pure awesome :)

Solution 2:

The ability to create elements on the fly in a more terse manner, by passing all attributes as the second argument to jQuery():

jQuery('<div/>', {
    id: 'foo',
    mouseenter: function() {
        // do stuff
    },
    html: jQuery('<a/>', {
        href: 'http://google.com',
        click: function() {
            // do stuff
        }
    })
});

All non-attribute properties map to the corresponding jQuery method. So having html there will call .html() and having click will bind a new click event via .click()...
