I don’t use bound() and function expressions very often (I prefer that = this for most use cases). However, the register/unregister pitfall is indeed real. How about the following solution? Function.prototype.attachTo = function (obj) { this.bound = this.bind(obj); return this; } var obj = { mymethod: function () { // ... }.attachTo(obj) } generic.addEventListener("stuff", obj.mymethod.bound, false); generic.removeEventListener("stuff", obj.mymethod.bound, false); Python always binds methods that you access via obj.mymethod. Multiple accesses are equal (which I think is carried over to data structures), but not the same reference. It’s a shame that we are really close in JavaScript, with the ECMA-262 specification using references. -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de home: rauschma.de twitter: twitter.com/rauschma blog: 2ality.com
