how to replace bindwithevent in mootools 1.3

Question

I wonder how to replace the bindWithEvent function in Mootools 1.3, the example in the documentation is very basic:

Element.addEvent(\'click\', function(e){
myFu         


        

Answer 1

You should read the upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 page: http://github.com/mootools/mootools-core/wiki/Update-from-1.2-to-1.3

This is what I came up with: http://jsfiddle.net/MBx2D/2/

Answer 2

el.addEvent('click', function(event){
    myFunction(event, param1, param2); // can use .pass and bind this again
}.bind(this));

it's hard to explain why it got deprecated though.

example in a class context:

var foo = new Class({
    initialize: function(el) {
        document.id(el).addEvent('click', function(event){
            this.foo(event, "hello");
        }.bind(this));
    },
    foo: function(event, what) {
        console.log(event, this); // this is the class instance
        alert(what);
    }
});

new foo("foo");
