While not what you were asking, remember that you can chain.
var name = $("#label");
var nameInfo = $("#nameInfo");
name.blur(validateName).keyup(validateName);
...
nameInfo.text("We want names with more than 3 letters!").addClass
("error");
Then:
$('#addPhoneExt').click(tb_remove);
sets an onclick event handler on what the selector returns. I'm not
exactly sure what you are asking... is there a function attached to
the DOM node that you are trying to execute... are you trying to
execute the already set click event? Are you trying to use a function
created by a plugin?
