I'd like to propose the addition of an .everyN() traversal method to the jQuery UI project - you can think of it as a superset of the existing .odd() and .even() methods. I've tried to copy the jQuery description of these methods below to explain how .everyN() would work: everyN(N, "skip") Description: Reduce the set of matched elements to every Nth one in the set. Add the string "skip" as an optional parameter to exclude every Nth element from the total set of matched elements.

Hi- I'd like to contribute with the addition of an .everyN() traversal method to the jQuery UI project - think of it as a superset of the existing .odd() and .even() methods. Added bonus: users won't have to worry about zero-indexing when using this method!
I've uploaded a js.file with the 'plugin' I wrote, and have imitated the official jQuery description of the even() method below to explain how .everyN() would work:
everyN(N, "skip")Description: Reduce the set of matched elements to every Nth one in the set. Add the string "skip" as an optional parameter to exclude every Nth element from the total set of matched elements.
The following are examples of how to use
.everyN():("li").everyN(2).addClass("anonymous")- add the classanonymousto every second list item (equivalent to("li").even().addClass("anonymous")).("li").everyN(2, "skip").addClass("anonymous")- add the classanonymousto everything BUT every second list item (equivalent to("li").odd().addClass("anonymous")).("li").everyN(5).addClass("anonymous")- add the classanonymousto every fifth list item.("li").everyN(5).addClass("anonymous")- add the classanonymousto everything BUT every fifth list item.
