jQuery 1.4 Hawtness #5, with Paul Irish

The fifth of six installments, Paul walks you through the improvements and additions to the API in jQuery 1.4. He demonstrates with real-world examples how you’ll put these new features to use, along with recommendations on performance and useful hints on the internals.

In Hawtness #5, Paul covers the new hawt element creation syntax, and detach(), data(), toggleClass(), contains(), the Zen-ness of jQuery.noop, and why index() has so much more awesome now. The code discussed in ep #5 is viewable and forkable on github
