jQuery Forum

I'm still new to all of this so be kind.

Within my class I store a reference to a jquery element within the instance variable and point the element's "click event" to my member function.  Within the member function i try to reference the instance variable with the "this" keyword.  Of course jquery has overridden "this" preventing me from accessing the instance object and its member variables.

1. // Constructor
2. function MyClass
   {
       // Store our JQ objects
       this.Dropdown    = $("#tld_list");
      
       // Set the click event
       this.Dropdown.click(this.on_Dropdown_Click);
   }
   
   // Member Function
   MyClass.prototype.on_Dropdown_Click =
   function()
   {
       this.Dropdown.addClass("yellow");   
3.     this.doTask(); 
   }
4. 
   
5. // Member Function
6. MyClass.prototype.doTask =
7. function()
8. {
9.       this.DropDown.fadeIn();
   
10. }
    

Is it possible to access instance member variables / functions from within an instance function which has been called by jQ? 

I hope all that made sense.

I'm using Jquery UI 1.7.2 and Jquery 1.4.4. 

For the life of me i cant get the modal dialog CLOSE event to fire

1.   $("#sigin_dialog").dialog(
       {
           modal:true,
           resizable:false,
           close:function(event,ui){alert('Closed');},
           open: function(event,ui)
           {
2.             alert('Opened');
           }
       });
       $("#sigin_dialog").dialog('open');

If the user clicks the X button in the top right corner i was hoping the close event would be fired but it doesnt.  Any ideas why and how do i set an event on it so that i know when the dialog has closed, be it thru the ESC key or the X.  What is the purpose of this "close" option if it doesnt work?

System: Firefox 3.6, Windows 7

Thanks.

I would like to scroll the window to a document element but have the scrolling done with an Ease In / Out.  No linear, no bouncing, just a simple ease in + ease out.

Is there a plugin for scrolling to a document element with simple easing?

Thanks
