[R] applying a function to data frame columns

[dxc13]

useR's,

I want to apply this function to the columns of a data frame:

u[u >= range(v)[1] & u <= range(v)[2]]

where u is the n column data frame under consideration and v is a data frame
of values with the same number of columns as u.  For example,
v1 <- c(1,2,3)
v2 <- c(3,4,5)
v3 <- c(2,3,4)
v <- as.data.frame(cbind(v1,v2,v3))

uk1 <- seq(min(v1) - .5, max(v1) + .5, .5)
uk2 <- seq(min(v2) - .5, max(v2) + .5, .5)
uk3 <- seq(min(v3) - .5, max(v3) + .5, .5)

u <- do.call("expand.grid", list(uk1,uk2,uk3))

Here, there are 3 columns; instead of hard-coding this, can the function
given above, which will restrict the u data frame to values within the
ranges of each variable, be done with the apply function?  Thanks in
advance.
