The problem is you're losing scope when calling onComplete. Try using
the .apply method. Instead of:
defaults.onComplete();
try:
defaults.onComplete.apply(obj.get(0), []);
That should get "this" back to what you're expecting it to be. You
could also skip a step and call:
defaults.onComplete.apply(obj, []);
---
onComplete: function(){ alert(this.attr('class')); }
I'm pretty sure that should work. IF not, let me know, and I'll play
around with it locally and actually test it out.
