Interacting with jQuery plugin objects after their creation
<p>I have a ticker which items are updated using polling. I have written a simple jQuery plugin for the ticker which is invoked like so:</p>

<pre><code>$("#cont ul").ticker();
</code></pre>

<p>Which turns a ul into a ticker, scrolling through the li. To add new items I have to add lis to the ul, which works fine. However, the OO in me wishes I could have an addItem function on a ticker object. However, I don't want to lose the chainability that jQuery uses.</p>

<p>Is there some method which is more obvious than adding ul's to the list but that fit's with the jQuery way of doing things?</p>
