jQuery: Search an array with partial matches
Need to find an element in an array with partial matches? Try this:

jQuery: Reverse the order of a collection
Ever wanted to reverse the order of a collection of DOM elements in a jQuery object and tried to use Javascript’s reverse() method? Well now you can:
/*
Reverse a jQuery collection

*/
$.fn.reverse = function() {
return $(this.get().reverse());
}
No idea at all why this isn’t included in jQuery by default…

Hope this saves some poor soul...

Javascript RGB to Hex and Hex to RGB converters
Couldn’t find a single source with both these functions anywhere, so I’ve made my own and posted them here for everyone’s reference.
Convert a HEX value #FFFFFF to an array of RGB values [255,255,255]
// convert hex to rgb
function hex2rgb(hex) {
hex = (hex.substr(0,1)=="#") ? hex.substr(1) : hex;
return [parseInt(hex.substr(0,2), 16), parseInt(hex.substr(2,2), 16),...
