Line 688... I saw it because I was trying to use .live() and this check
shot that to pieces... If the link doesn't pass this check it's assumed
to not be a Highslide link, even if the link has the "highslide" class
applied.
isHsAnchor : function (a) {
return (a.onclick && a.onclick.toString().replace(/\s/g, '
').match(/hs.(htmlE|e)xpand/));
}
It's a bad idea, imho. The writers of the library assumed that every
link could have it's own custom display parameters as part of the
onclick handler... something like <a onclick="return hs.expand(this, {
/* options */ };" ...> The problem is that the options should still be
stored in an external JS to be semantic, and if you try to do a full
page of images (a gallery or contents table in a store) with Highslide
handlers on each image, it's an incredible amount of code fluff.
