jQuery.unique on an array of strings

Question

The description of jQuery.unique() states:

Sorts an array of DOM elements, in place, with the duplicates removed. Note that this only works on arrays

Answer 1

$.unique will only remove duplicate DOM element, if you need it for array :

var result=[] ;
$.each([12,1,2,4,3,1,4,3,3,2,111], 
        function(i,e){ if($.inArray(e,result)===-1) result.push(e) ;});
result;
