Sorry, I was just being lazy and didn't show enough code. Here's what
I was thinking of, untested:
$(document).bind("myEvent", subscriber_element, function(event) {
alert("I received an event without subscribing!");
alert("my node type is "+event.data.nodeType);
});
$(document).trigger("myEvent");
The basic idea is to pass the subscribing element as the data allowed
in the bind operation, then pull it out in the event handler as
event.data. If you need to pass more context, the data could be an
array or object of stuff instead of a bare DOM object.
