Customising a JQuery Element
<p>Is it inadvisable to add methods to a JQuery element? </p>

<p>eg: </p>

<pre><code>var b = $("#uniqueID");
b.someMethod = function(){};
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Update</strong></p>

<p>Just to clarify, I am working on a JS-driven app that is binding JSON data to local JS objects that encapsulate the business logic for manipulating the actual underlying DOM elements. The objects currently store a reference to their associated HTML element/s. I was thinking that I could, in effect, merge a specific <em>instance</em> of a jquery element with it's logic by taking that reference add adding the methods required. </p>
