jQuery minor improvements

Update
This post has an "official" link, now, directly in devpro :)
--------------

These are just few fixes / improvements of some jQuery stuff.


(function(o){for(var k in o)jQuery[k] = o[k]})({

// IMPROVED: Evalulates a script in a global context using a specified JS version, if any
globalEval: function( data, version ) {
/** Examples
$.globalEval("let(a = 1)alert(a);"); // error
$.globalEval("let(a = 1)alert(a);", 1.7); // OK, alert 1

(function(){
var test = 1;
$.globalEval("test = 2");
alert(test); // 1
})();
alert(test); // 2
*/
data = jQuery.trim( data );
if ( data ) {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
if ( version )
script.type += ";version=" + version;
if ( jQuery.browser.msie )
script.text = data;
else
script.appendChild( document.createTextNode( data ) );
with(document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0] || document.documentElement)
removeChild( appendChild( script ) );
}
},

// IMPROVED: optional strict comparation
inArray: function( elem, array, deep ) {
for ( var i = 0, length = array.length; i < length; i++ )
if ( (deep && array[ i ] === elem) || (!deep && array[ i ] == elem) )
return i;

return -1;
},

// FIXED: ( typeof array != "array" ) .... excuse me ???
makeArray: function( array ) {
if(array instanceof Array)
var ret = array.slice();
else
for(var ret = [], i = 0, length = array.length; i < length; i++)
ret[i] = array[i];
return ret;
}

});


Next post will be about my define function for jQuery, a typeOf suggestion, and finally JSmile integrated in jQuery ... so please, stay tuned :)
