There's nothing wrong with using a bind() function - it's just that jQuery
doesn't provide one. It isn't really necessary, because in any situation
where you might use bind(), you can use a closure - and the code is usually
simpler. In fact, a closure is what bind() uses.
Here is one way you could code it:
$(function(){
$('h2.countdown[paused="no"]').each(function( i, element ){
setInterval( function() {
element.innerHTML = 'stuff';
// or do it the jQuery way:
$(element).html( 'stuff' );
}, 1000 );
});
});
I didn't see the code using this.inverval - if you have an example of how
that might be used, I can give you another idea or two on it.
