Is it possible to create a namespace in jQuery?

Question

YUI has a nice way of creating a namespace for your methods etc. in javascript.

Does jQuery have anything similiar?

Depending on what you're trying to do, jQuery's plugin architecture may be what you're looking for:

$.fn.myPlugin = function() {
  return $(this).each(function() {
    // do stuff
  });
};

or ...

$.fn.myPlugin = function() {
  var myNamespace = {
    // your stuff
  };
};

really it depends on what you're trying to do.
