Sample text

Click(function(){ /* ... delegate("li", "click", /* ... */); 24 | Chapter 2: Events and Observing Another advantage to event delegation is that any children added dynamically to the element would still have the event listener. So, in the above example, any li elements added to the list after the page loaded would still invoke the click handler.

Never define a variable without using the var operator, since it always creates a global variable. foo = foo; })(window); assertEqual(foo, "bar"); Class Libraries As with a lot of concepts in this book, it’s good to understand the theory behind classes, but often in practice, you’ll use a library. jQuery doesn’t include class support natively, but it can easily be added with a plug-in like HJS. create(Person, { price: function() { /* ... find = function(id){ /* ... equal(bill) ); HJS isn’t your only option; Spine also has a class implementation.

For example: var clicky = { wasClicked: function(){ /* ... apply(thisObject, arguments); }); }; var clicky = { wasClicked: function(){ /* ... wasClicked, this)); } }; So, in the above example, we specify the context to be used inside the click callback; the context jQuery invokes the function in is ignored. proxy(function(){ /* ... */ }, this)); There are other useful reasons to use apply() and call(), such as delegating. apply(console, args); }; Function Invocation | 13 Above, we’re making an array of arguments and then adding our own.
