[jQuery] Re: Objects Methods as event handlers.

To continue Karl's point, if you use jQuery the same way you would use
prototype then you'll be fighting it all the way. The prototype
solution squirrels away references to the DOM objects in the class and
then points event handlers back to the class. jQuery usually
encapsulates the data and events within the DOM element or a closure,
e.g.:

$("selector")
  .data("options", {answer: 42})
  .click(function(){
     alert($(this).data("options").answer)
  });
