I tried posting this a few minutes ago but it didn't appear - so sorry
if this is a dupe.
This is a bit of an irregular question, but is it possible to attach
an event to a class instantiation?
For example:
function Person() {
/* constructor code */
}
var bob = new Person(); // instantiation event fires here
My gut feeling is that this isn't possible, but I wanted some input
before I dismissed the idea. Thanks!

When using draggables and droppables, I'm having difficulty
understanding how to query the dropped element. For example, right
now I can do something like the following:
    $('.droppable').droppable({
        accept: '.draggable',
        tolerance: 'pointer',
        drop: function() {
            $(this).append('hey');
        }
    });
But what I would like to be able to do is like the following:
    $('.droppable').droppable({
        accept: '.draggable',
        tolerance: 'pointer',
        drop: function() {
            $(this).append($(draggableElement).text());
        }
    });
where draggableElement is the element that was dropped. I've seen
examples on how to do this in older versions of the library, but I
can't seem to get anything to work using jQuery 1.2.3 and UI 1.5b
