1. Body will bubble up through HTML to document. document doesn't have any place to bubble. 2. You don't have to use the dom when doing jQuery custom events. $(document).trigger works the same way as $(myNS).trigger where myNS is your global namespaced object
This probably makes more sense to your app than bouncing events off the dom anyway. -----Original Message----- From: jsmentors@googlegroups.com [mailto:jsmentors@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Fran Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 10:07 AM To: jsmentors@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [JSMentors] $('body') vs $(document) in Pub/Sub pattern Because I'd also like to use namespaced events and I think jQuery has this cleverly implemented On 03/02/11 15:00, Peter Higgins wrote: > On 2/3/11 9:12 AM, Poetro wrote: >> 2011/2/3 Fran<m...@fran.ie>: >>> I like this really tiny but clever plugin.
