[jQuery] Augmentation

[jQuery] Augmentation


Maybe what I am pretending to do is something that JQuery wants to
avoid, but I am very frustrated with the following idea. Let's image
we have a simple "class":
$.widget( "ui.mywidget",
{
...
f: function ( ) { .... fff( ) ; ... }
....
// to be overriden
fff: function( ) { }
} ) ;
and now I create a div element that "extends"[1] "mywidget":
div = $(document.createElement( "div" )).mywidget( ) ;
what I want to do is to "define the fff" function in a way, that when
it is called from f (div.mywidget( "f" ) or div.mywidget( "fff" ) ) it
will be invoked.
I expected something like:
$.extend( div, ui.list_box, { fff : my_new_func } ) ;
to work, but it does not.
Any help is very appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
David
