Fetch this data value as a String.
Fetch this data value as a String.
You should only call this if you *know* with confidence that this data field is set, and that the value is String; it will crash otherwise.
JQuery's native replaceWith is useful *if* you are planning on throwing away the node you're replacing.
JQuery's native replaceWith is useful *if* you are planning on throwing away the node you're replacing. But if you're going to want to restore it, it's bad because it *removes* the old element from the DOM, losing its data and stuff. So this is a similar function, which *detaches* the old element instead of removing it.
Execute the given code over each Element in the returned set.
Execute the given code over each Element in the returned set. This is just convenience sugar around $.each(), but is typically easier to use.
Wrap $.map in something more idiomatic and convenient for Scala

This applies the given function to each element in this JQuery object, and returns the results. Note that, unlike JQuery.map(), this produces the unwrapped results, since that is typically what you want in Scala code.
The value of this Element; use this when it can only make sense as a String in context, and when you are confident that the value is set.
These are extensions to jQuery -- useful higher-level functions, which mostly tighten up the types.
Basically, when you want to express a common idiom, especially one that is particularly helpful in the Scala environment, it belongs here. But this isn't for complex high-level logic, just for stuff that makes JQuery easier to use in Scala.
Within those constraints, pull requests are welcome for additional utility functions that seem to be at the same level.
