I am not a fan of "bind" either, I'm sure it was inherited from the other frameworks that use it. I would prefer .on() and .un() (or perhaps .no()? ) because they're short and a bit more intuitive. To me, click is a verb and it's not intuitive to be setting a click handler with the word click. Since .hover and .toggle are not simple mapping of events they have to stay, or at least be handled some way other than bind. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
