I have been studying jQuery for about two years now and I was to the point whenever rewriting a set of code that I usually use became tedious I thought “maybe it is time to learn how to turn this into a function?” I ran across this tutorial creating a plugin. Plugins are for the “pros”. This was explained and I realized that I understood more than I thought I would about a basic plugin. So, I will attempt to make a plugin. Anyway, this was truely enlightening to the core idea of creating a plugin. Not sure what I am getting into. LOL
Thank you.

PS. are you using sql software to create this?

Ok so this is pretty cool, a nice example of how to create a plugin.

However, the functionality of this is useful to me. How can I adapt this to center the image within a div, not the browser window?

The div will be a set width/height and the image within it will vary in size but need to stay centered..?

There is examples out there in google but appear to be quite clunky..

Many thanks

@Nora:
Because “this” is a DOM object and $(this) or $(element) is a jQuery object and this object has height() method in it.

Confused…if “this” is already a jQuery object, and you then assign that object to the variable “element”, why do you need to wrap it as in “var imageHeight = $(element).height();” ? Why not just element.height(), which does seem to work at least in Safari and Firefox?
