non-Ajax equivalent of changeContent() method and more. about smooth-div-scroll

[tkahn]

Hi!

I love the work you are putting in to contribute!
It sounds like a good idea to have a method with which you can add "raw HTML" right into the scroller without using AJAX. I'll also look into the possibilities to access raw data from the plugin with new public methods.

I'm looking over the code right now and I think the function for adding or replacing content (changeContent) will become bloated and complicated to understand and use if I just keep adding new functionality to it, especially since I want to add a filtering option to the AJAX content loader. Therefore I'm now working on a solution where I split it into three different methods, each with a specific purpose:

---

getFlickrContent
Arguments are:
flickrFeedURL - a valid URL to a Flickr feed - string
manipulationMethod - add or replace (default) - string
addWhere - first or last (default) - string

---

getAjaxContent
Arguments are:
ajaxContentURL - a valid URL to an AJAX content source - string
manipulationMethod - add or replace (default) - string
addWhere - first or last (default) - string
filterTag - a jQuery selector that matches the elements from the AJAX content source that you want, for example ".myClass" or "#thisDiv" or "div" - string

---

getHtmlContent
Arguments are:
htmlContent - any raw HTML that you want - string
manipulationMethod - add or replace (default) - string
addWhere - first or last (default) - string

---

I know this means that people will have to look over their code if they want to upgrade, but in the long run I think it's worth it.
