I realy think you should read about call/apply/bind, and even better, read the mootools code, so you could see that bind already uses apply. anyway, this is what you are looking for: http://jsfiddle.net/TfhL8/4/
and just to make it clear - the first argument to both apply and call specifies what this will point to. failing to specify this argument will result with only the global scope. But, if you already use bind, there is no reason using call, as the function was already binded. When you use bind, simply call the function itself: http://jsfiddle.net/TfhL8/3/ hope this clarifies some of your confusion On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 2:45 PM, berlinsurfer <[email protected]>wrote: > I found the solution: I had to use apply instead.
