Enumerations and Invoke

[kstubs]

How do I implement:

I have a function

I have an enumeration

On the enumeration I want to invoke my function

My function should either receive the current enumerable object as first parameter - or - within the context of the function "this" should be the current enumerable item.

Suppose I have a collection of <div> elements.  I want to invoke my function so my function might look like:

function myFunction(div) {

  // div is the current enumerable object

}

I call it like this:

$$('div.mydivs').invoke('myFunction')

Thanks,

Karl..

Take a look at methodize, or you can do this:

Element.addMethods({
myFunction: function(div){
var div = $(div);
//do whatever here
return div; //for chaining
}
});

Thanks!  This should work.

You could also do this with each.

 

$$('div.mydivs').each(myFunction);

 

myFunction will be passed the current element and the index of that element.
