So, I need some help. I need to run some code on an element and all of it's
children when it's removed from the DOM via Mootools. destroy(), empty(),
dispose(), etc. Since all of these end up calling dispose in the end, this
is the method I would like to reimplement. I was trying to do something
like:
Element.implement('mooDispose', Element.prototype.dispose);
Element.implement('dispose', function(){
/* my code */
this.mooDispose();
});
And this seems works fine when I call dispose on the element as
$(el).dispose(); However, when I call $(el).destroy() which calls
Element.dispose(this); it does not call my dispose, but rather the original
dispose, thus going around my implementation. Is there a way I'm missing so
Element.dispose calls my implementation of it? In the implementation method
in Mootools, Element.dispose(this); should call my function with apply(el)
from the, but something else must be happening I don't quite understand. I
feel so close...
Here's a jsfiddle. Notice that dispose calls mine, but destroy or empty
does not: http://jsfiddle.net/rgthree/QG7Fa/
Thanks!
