Using Jquery (or even just Javascript), how to chain commands together

Question

There are several functions in jquery which you can do the following: $('#element').each().get('title').othercmd()

How can I create a class ( or a series of classes ) to replicate this behavior? Basically, I want to something like this:

test = new Something()
test.generateSection('title').addData('somedata')

What is correct for this?

Thanks

One approach is to return "this" (the object) in each function. So you could do something like this:

<script>
var Something = function() {
  this.hi = function() {
    alert('hi');
    return this;
  };
  this.bye = function() {
    alert('bye');
    return this;
  };
}
var myObj = new Something();
myObj.hi().bye();
</script>
