.andSelf(selector)

[karamfil]

Why not andSelf() function to have a selector param. Here is a particular example

$('element').nextAll('.className').andSelf('.className').doSomething();

This way one can add self only if it meets particular requirements.

Here is a fast solution :)

$.fn.andSelf = function(selector){ return (selector == null || this.prevObject.is(selector)) ? this.add( this.prevObject ) : this; }

Watch out there. The .is() method only checks the first element in the jQuery object. I think you'd want .filter() instead. Probably the .andSelf() name isn't clear enough but at this point I guess we're stuck with it. The enhancement seems useful though.

I would find this feature very useful. It seems like an appropriate change to to bring andSelf() in line with the other traversal methods.

Assuming the provided code functions I think this would be a reasonable candidate for the next version. I can think of some use cases where this might be handy, although I've never needed it in the past.

+1, I like the feature but maybe we can find something better than .andSelf() to describe it?

-1, I'd like these kind of helpers to be added into an official plugin, not be put in core.

[ajpiano]

-1, .andSelf should do what it says.

+0, plugin

+1, Seems reasonable since most other stack addition functions take a selector

+1, useful, and provides consistent optional filtering for traversing methods

[cowboy]

+1, Doing this would not only be cool, it would make #4596 a non-issue (see my comment there)
