Hello all, I cannot for the life of me figure out the syntax given in the subject line.
Through all of the following, I am referring to the examples tab of the following page: http://docs.jquery.com/Events/trigger I've got a 'live' event, waiting for a custom trigger. I pull the trigger, fire the event, and all goes well. However, using the following trigger syntax, data pass-through does not perform at all as expected: myJQueryObject.trigger('myEvent', [value1, value2]); My event gets triggered, however all passed values are totally ignored, so far as I can tell. It seems to me that my live event's arguments are always firstly the event, and then my live event's selector (which is an attribute selector). The desired passed information does not seem to dwell in the event object, either. As far as I can tell after about an hour of tear-jerking tests, this is undocumented behavior. Furthermore, the only syntax I can coerce to properly function is to do the following: myJQueryObject.trigger('myEvent', { type : 'myEvent', var1 : value1, var2 : value2 }); This however makes the values attributes of the 'event' object. Workable, but I must ask the age-old linux question: Why does the documentation lie to us? I'd much prefer that either the original array-based syntax work as advertised, or someone alter that examples tab to clarify what is supposed to happen there. Thanks in advance, wonderful people.
