Excellent Brandon, this is a great start. I suspect that in order to get a full "behavior" plugin (one the feels natural) it'll require a lot of code extensions. Hmm... I wonder if there's anything that can be added to jQuery proper to ease the process.

I had some down time this afternoon so I thought I would throw something together real quick. I just checked it in: http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/plugins/behavior This allows you to register any number of behaviors that will run any jQuery method/plugin with any number of arguments. It also allows a plugin developer to register their method so that behavior will auto run when it is done. It also allows the developer to manually run/remove a specific behavior or all behaviors. It seems to be pretty flexible but with behavior auto running after a DOM update, I could see it getting pretty out of hand with performance if lots of behaviors are used. Here is the test/example page that adds three behaviors; an append, click and addClass. I also remove the addClass behavior before doing the last two appendTo and prependTo calls. http://brandon.jquery.com/plugins/behavior/test/test.html -- Brandon Aaron On 4/26/07, John Resig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > .behavior() does not exist - but it could (without too much effort) > the current solution with jQuery is shown in the previous slide (which > is, unfortunately, rather verbose).
