Let's look at the method checkAll in Contact object:
var Contact = {
initialize: function(json,id_contact){
$('check-all').observe('click',this.checkAll.bindAsEventListener(this));
},
checkAll: function(e) {
e.stop();
this.contactChecked = [];
$$('#contacts-ul .contact-checkbox').each(function(c){
c.checked = true;
Contact.contactChecked.push(parseInt(c.value));
Here 'this' is a window object so I could use bind(this) and then use
this.contactChecked,
but I can skip bind and use Contact.contactChecked which I often do.
I would like to know how you deal with such situation, because I would use
bind as rarely as possible, that's all.
});
