[jQuery] Re: help read code

[Nalum]

.mouseup(); takes a function as it's argument. So the user is creating
a function while passing it through to .mouseup();

It could also have been done like this.

$(document).mouseup(mouseUpFunction);

function mouseUpFunction(e) // e is the event
{
    if($(e.target).parent("a.signin").length==0) {
        $("fieldset#signin_menu").hide();
    }
}

Another way, and I would think a better way, to do it would be
$("a.signin").click(function(){
    $("fieldset#signin_menu").hide();
});

Hope this helped.
