Hi, I am atempting to cover a simple custom solution from prototype to jQuery and I came a long a problem I am unable to solve.
I have added some behaviours to the app, like sorting divs and switching their visibility. I know there are plugins for this but while checking them out I couldn't make then do what I wanted (i.e. there was no sorting plugin that would allow me to disable dragging the elements and enable me to create handlers for moving them up / down). I managed to create my own plugin that accepts extra handlers on reordering elements, but there is another feature I need. I want the state of all the reordering and showing/hiding to be stored in cookies and I wanted to create a js class to handle a simple json object that would be stored in cookies (couldn't think of a jQuery plugin way to accomplish this). What I wanted to do was to pass a handler (a certain method of this object) as a parameter to jQuery plugin. However there is no bind(this) method known from prototype to bind the context to a handler, and the handler method requires the access to the object. If I wasn't clear on this let me know. To sum this up - I want to create custom reordering / visibility toggling behaviour + independent class / plugin for storing the state of those operations and loading it up on the page load.
