jQuery.each()

jQuery.support
A collection of properties that represent the presence of different browser features or bugs. Intended for jQuery’s internal use; specific properties may be removed when they are no longer needed internally to improve page startup performance. For your own project’s feature-detection needs, we strongly recommend the use of an external library such as Modernizr instead of dependency on properties in jQuery.support.

Remove the whitespace from the beginning and end of a string.

jQuery.type()
Determine the internal JavaScript [[Class]] of an object.

Also in: Deprecated > Deprecated 3.0
