Using the object literal notation with jQuery

Question

the other day I read this article by Alan Storm called "Using jQuery and the Object Literal Singleton/Module Pattern".

Now I'm wondering if any of you are writing jQuery code using the object literal notation a lot? I'd be happy to check some code examples and/or get advise on when it actually makes sense to use this notation.

Thanks

North...

I first saw the Object literal pattern in the wild in a joomla extension called jomsocial. At first I was not aware of what i was looking at but it seemed like a slick way to implement code across multiple interfaces. After some searching I discovered its a pattern that is used in the jQuery community and not just something they cooked up.

Here is a good sample of it in action..
