jQuery Plugin, $.repeat()
While working on the Knit Project, I discovered that I needed a way to repeat a string and then insert it into a jQuery/DOM object. So I created this little bit of code to do just that.
//Repeater Plugin
jQuery.fn.repeat = function(times, string) {
//For each item matched
this.each(function(){
var buff = string;
for(var i=1; i < times; i++){
buff += string;
}
jQuery(this).append(buff);
});
return this;
}
The plugin takes two parameters, the number of times to repeat, and the string to repeat. this means that if I want to add a bunch of columns to my table rows, all I have to do is:
//Add the columns
$("table > tr").repeat( width, "<td></td>" );
Now all my table rows will have the correct number of columns.
I used .append instead of replacing the old data just in case I would ever need to keep what is already there. This could easily be changed or even turned into a switch.
If this was what you were looking for, or even if it wasn’t, please leave a comment. I’ve gotten a lot of traffic from this little plugin and I would like to know if people find it useful.

Hello,
A useful function… I think, it would be a bit faster if we write it this way, in case if we have selected several objects …
//Repeater Plugin
jQuery.fn.repeat = function(times, string) {
var buff = string;
for(var i=1; i < times; i++){
buff += string;
}
$(this).append(buff);
return this;
}
Thanks for the idea!

Maybe faster:
var arrCell = [];
for(var cellCount = 0; cellCount < 100 ; cellCount++)
arrCell[cellCount] = '’;
$(‘table tr’).append(arrCell.join(”));
