Hi Scott! Many thanks for your pro help and super fast reply! I really

Oooh, that is nice! Cool technique! Thanks for sharing. :)

For my simple plugin, this sounds like the most logical (and simple)
route to take.

Great idea. Done. :)

Cool!
Ok, so how does this look:
==========
(function($) {
//
// Plugin definition:
//
$.fn.myFunction = function(id) {
var $target = $('#' + id);
if($target.length > 0) {
// Traverse all nodes:
return this.each(function() {
// Do stuff here.
});
} // $target
};
})(jQuery);
$('#div').myFunction('targ');
==========
It appears to work... Simpler than what I had before. :)
One last question:
My plugin will only be used on an #id, and the output will only
manipulate a unique #id... In other words, there will only be one
unique id in both cases. With that said, is it overkill to use
"this.each()"? If so, what is the alternative syntax?
==========
Thanks again Scott, I really appreciate the help!
Have a great day!
Cheers,
Micky
