Use the jQuery.fn.extend [http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.fn.extend/] method:


jQuery.fn.extend({
    multiply: function(x,y) {
        return (x * y);
    }
});


or you can declare your new method as:


$.fn.multiply= function(){
  return (x * y);
}

convert this namespace into jQuery

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.
