The last post was mangled; I wanted to say you could use a custom
event:
$.fn.cloneTheWidgets = function (){
return this.clone() // don't clone events
.each(function(){
var handlers = $.data(this,'events')['cloneTheWidgets'];
if (handlers) for (var handler in handlers) handlers
[handler].apply(this); // manually trigger the clone event handlers
}
};
and in the widget init function:
init: function(){
var self = this;
self.element.bind('cloneTheWidgets', function() {$(this)
[self.widgetName](self.options)});
...the rest of your init
}
Though I haven't tested this.
