What is the best practice to not to override other bound functions to [removed]?

Question

How much I dig into JavaScript, I find myself asking that much. For example we have window.onresize event handler and if I say:

window.onresize          


        

Answer 1

One way of doing it is like this:

function resize() { /* ... */ }

var existing = window.onresize;
window.onresize = function() {
    if (existing) {
        existing();
    }
    resize();
 }

Or you can use something like jQuery which wraps all that stuff in a much simpler construct:

$(window).resize(function() { /* ... */ });

That automatically handles multiple handlers and stuff for you.
