I have written a library of mobile 'events', that unifies mobile and desktop clicks and touches into a single event (see here > https://github.com/benmajor/jQuery-Mobile-Events). 

I (rather foolishly) relied on two undocumented jQuery features to handle certain areas within the code. One of them was $.attrFn, which I have been able to fix by declaring it myself, but the other is a little more difficult, it is the $.event.handler.

The full code that no longer works is as follows:

2. function triggerCustomEvent( obj, eventType, event ) {
3. var originalType = event.type;
4. event.type = eventType;
5. $.event.handle.call( obj, event );
6. event.type = originalType;
7. }

How would I go about altering the code so that it continues to function as expected with jQuery 1.9.0+?

Thanks,

Ben.
