[jQuery] jQuery.event.trigger()

[Paul Thiel]

Hi guys.

Trying again as not sure what happened to the previous post.

I am using jQuery 1.3.2 and getting some unexpected behavior this
morning.

This works, with the alert being executed when the showpalette event
is triggered.

$().bind('showpalette', function() {
  alert('showing palette!');
});

$.event.trigger('showpalette');

However, this does NOT work:

$().bind('show.palette', function() {
  alert('showing palette!');
});

$.event.trigger('show.palette');


Also, trying to trigger the event with an event object, thus:

$.event.trigger({
   type : 'showpalette',
   palette : palette
});

... also does not work with the bound handler seeing 'undefined' as
the second parm (after the event object).

If I trigger the event like this:

$.event.trigger('showpalette', [palette]);

... it is getting though to the handler just fine.


What am I missing?  Namespacing your events should be just fine in
this scenario, right?

Is there something about $.event.trigger() that is different to $
('#elem').trigger()??
