I don't think these are worth making into full blown plugins, but I do
think they're useful. Feel free to use these and credit me if you wan
:) I wrote them as utility plugins for a promo rotator I was working
on. I was fading and showing list items in the order they appeared in
the jQuery object, so I needed to mess with said order. If this has
already been done, then consider this an update. Please let me know if
you find any bugs, and if you know of an easier/better/more succinct
way to do this, then I'd love to hear it. I'm always interested in
optimization.
Enjoy,
Paul
