What I'd like to know is if there is a nice way to queue jQuery functions to execute after a set amount of time.

Simple example: I want to have some items on a page (like divs or table rows) and I want to let the user click on them to select them. That seems easy enough in jquery. To save which items a user clicks on with no server-side post backs, I was thinking a cookie would be a simple way to get this done. Is this assumption that a cookie is...

I know of the jquery-ui-datapicker plugin, and not what I am looking for here. You may type in a phone number as 123 which then becomes (123), additiona...
