[jQuery] Overriding jQuery Function

[jQuery] Overriding jQuery Function


I would like to be able to 'override' a standard jQuery function to
provide it with customised features and/or functionality whilst still
being able to call the base/original function from within the new
function to do the majority of the work.
Is there a recommended approach to achieving this type of extension?
