I see so many "oh just do it with jquery" comments on forums.. when in reality, 9 times out of 10, you just need some simple one-off function from it.. you end up loading some massive script to run 2 functions... oh wait, is that why compilers exist? :-) really what we need is a way to get jquery to extract out just the functions you want in a standalone way...
