Gordon,
You can already do this in jQuery:
$('#myDiv').bind('myCustomEvent');
...
$.event.trigger('myCustomEvent', [arg1,arg2,arg3]);
The form plugin triggers several custom events like this. For
example, you can bind to its submit notification event like this:
$().bind('form.submit.notify', function(event, $form, options) {
// do something
});
