when you say $(someObject) You have to have a reference to that object
via id, class, or tag, meaning that jquery only has visibility into
the DOM.
how would I do something like
var someObject = {};
someObject.foo = "bar";
someObject.baz = function () { alert("hello world") };
$(someObject).bind("someEvent", someFunc);
$(someObject).trigger("someEvent");
if someObject is not a member of the DOM with a tag, class, or id?
Forgive me, I'm still a newb to all of this.
