does jquery have an equivalent of dojo.hitch()?

Question

Forgive my ignorance as I am not as familiar with jquery. Is there an equivalent to dojo.hitch()? It returns a function that is guaranteed to be executed in the given scope.

Answer 1

No. Not in 1.3.2, at least, as I don't know about 1.4. There are, however, some plugins:

(function($) {
  $.fn.hitch = function(ev, fn, scope) {
    return this.bind(ev, function() {
      return fn.apply(scope || this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments));
    });
  };
})(jQuery);
