remove from jQuery

remove from jQuery

Hello,

I have registered an element with 2 of my own plugins.

One of the plugins uses a periodicalUpdater to repeatedly call a function for the element.

The other plugin creates a link which when pressed will delete the element using .remove().

This works ok; the element is removed from the DOM. However, the periodicalUpdater continues for the element, I can even retrieve the elements attributes. Which obviously means its still alive inside jQuery somewhere.

Is there any way that I can completely get rid of the element from jQuery, unregister it from the plugins somehow?

Thanks.
