[jQuery] Re: How can I add a TRUE custom event or modify existing jQuery functions?

2009-01-11 Thread Ariel Flesler 

I just made a plugin to do EXACTLY what you're asking for.
It's not formally released yet so there's no documentation. If you
want, you can use it.

http://test.flesler.com/jquery.broadcast/

Note that it requires jQuery 1.3. That means you need to use the
version on trunk or any of the recently released betas.

Cheers

 I have created custom styled buttons in my page and would like to
 toggle their class and therefore their look when they get disabled or
 enabled.  So is there any way to call a function when .removeAttr
 ('disabled'), .attr('disabled', ''), and .attr('disabled', 'disabled')
 are invoked?  Basically, is there any way to have enable/disable act
 like an event such as click, mouseover, etc.?

 I've tried overwriting the jQuery function as follows:

         jQuery.fn.removeAttr = function(name) {
           if(this.eq(0).hasClass('buttonDisabled')  name ==
 'disabled')
             this.eq(0).removeClass('buttonDisabled');
           jQuery.attr(this.get(0), name,  );
           if (this.get(0).nodeType == 1)
             this.get(0).removeAttribute(name);
         };

 and when $('.buttonDisabled').removeAttr('disabled') is called, the
 disabled attribute and buttonDisabled class are removed.  This is what
 I want, but it doesn't seem right.  I shouldn't be overwriting the
 removeAttr function.  Also, I'd have to do the same thing for jQuery's
 attr() function to add the buttonDisabled class when .attr('disabled',
 'disabled') is called.  Can I add the code I need to the functions and
 then call super somehow?  Is there a simpler way to achieve what I
 want?

Thanks, I'll actually give that a try.
