I had a similar need. Wanted to override the default load()
functionality, and needed the original selector. I tried overriding
jQuery.init to save the passed in selector, eg,
jQuery.fn.extend(jQuery.fn, {
_init : jQuery.fn.init,
_selector : '',
init : function (selector, context) {
if (typeof of selector == 'string')
this._selector = selector;
return this._init(selector, context);
}
})
But couldn't get it to work. The init method doesn't seem to be
(trivially) extendable. I think it'll be useful to have, and
hopefully somebody will know the way....
