I wanted to check this on each iteration of the timer. In a perfect
world the function fired by the timer would check if the element it
was about to alter is still in the dom. If not, it should clear the
timer associated with the element.
Having only one timer would kinda make the whole code as a plugin
useless. I wanted to be able to create multiple instances of the
plugin on the same page which require one timer for each element.
Guess I need to make a KYD. :(
"And you can't check for the element's
existance anywhere within the plugin code because all event handlers
have been removed with the element itself."
I don't really understand this, or it isn't at all what I experience
from testing. I have a console.log in the function fired by the timer
created by the plugin. It outputs $(this).length, which would be 1
since the plugin code attaches itself to each object supplied thru the
jQuery object. If assign my rotate-plugin to for example $('#rotate')
and then delete that same element, $(this).lenght will still output 1.
If I however console.log($('#rotate').lenght) it would respond to the
changes in the DOM.
