Hello,
The .bind () method is not behaving like I would expect it to. I have two lists in HTML:
<ol id="greenList">
<li>Notepads</li>
<li>Books</li>
<li>Pens</li>
<li>Pencils</li>
<li>Binders</li>
</ol>
and
<ol id="blueList">
</ol>
I have the following event handler, that moves clicked elements to the other list:
function moveItem (e) {
var targetList = "ol#" + e.data.target;
$(e.target).clone ().appendTo (targetList);
$(e.target).remove ();
}
I would like to bind the event handler to each <ol> element like so:
$("ol#greenList").bind ("click", {target: "blueList"}, moveItem);
$("ol#blueList").bind ("click", {target: "greenList"}, moveItem);
However this doesn't work. Once the .bind () for blueList is performed, the e.data.target for the event handler in the greenList is "greenList" and it should have remained "blueList".
I had to rewrite my event handler like so:
function moveItem (e) {
var targetList = "ol#" + e.data [$(this).attr("id")];
$(e.target).clone ().appendTo (targetList);
$(e.target).remove ();
}
and bind in this fashion for the code to work:
$("ol#greenList").bind ("click", {greenList: "blueList", blueList: "greenList"}, moveItem);
$("ol#blueList").bind ("click", {greenList: "blueList", blueList: "greenList"}, moveItem);
This doesn't seem right to me. Is there a bug with passing a "data" object to the bind method?
Best regards,
JEK
