jquery source for grep:


function( elems, callback, inv ) {
var ret = [];
// Go through the array, only saving the items
// that pass the validator function
for ( var i = 0, length = elems.length; i < length; i++ ) {
if ( !inv !== !callback( elems[ i ], i ) ) {
ret.push( elems[ i ] );
}
}
return ret;
}

Out of curiosity, why can't you use jquery? It's written in javascript.
