Re: [jQuery] Is there a way to "endAll()"?

I just had the idea of savepoints:

jQuery.fn.savepoint = function() {
        if( ! this.savePoints )
                this.savePoints = [];
        this.savepoints.push(this.stack.length);
        return this;
}
jQuery.fn.savepointReturn = function() {
        if( ! this.savepoints || this.savepoints.length == 0 )
                return this;
        return this.get(this.stack[this.savepoints.pop()]);
}

then you can do:

jQuery.fn.plugin = function() {
  this.savepoint();
  // do other stuff
  return this.savepointReturn();
};
