Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
It looks like there were some changes to the event system since you wrote your
system, we have to be careful with those.
The additonal scope looks interesting, but rather useless. Do you have an
example where that is really helping instead of only brain-twisting?
Please don't get me wrong, but that scope seems to be way too geeky.
By the way: We could simply allow Arrays and Objects for additonal argument: If
it is a number, it's the amount of events to handle, otherwise its a
pass-through argument.
Remains the question on how to actualy pass the additonal stuff, because:
var x = $(...).bind("click", handler, args);
x.trigger("click", moreArgs);
How to write the handler?
var handler = function(event, bind, trigger) {
// do something with bind and trigger, we have to list bind also when using
only trigger
};
var handler = function(event) {
// do something with event.bind and event.trigger, they contain the data
passed to bind and trigger, if any
};
I'd prefer the second approach. Documenting callback parameters is difficult
anyway.
