.unbind example question

[Andrey Fedorov]

Hi all,

I'm a bit hesitant about this example in the old documentation of .unbind:

 $("p").unbind( "click", function () { alert("Hello"); } )

Would using an anonymous function really work here?

Nope! Good catch. The example should definitely be expanded, then.

function foo(){ ... }
.bind("click", foo);
.unbind("click", foo);

--John

Done. Also, aren't .blur(), .click(), .focus(), etc. redundant in light of .trigger("blur"), .trigger("click"), .trigger("focus"), etc.?

Sure - and so are .click(fn) when compared to .bind("click", fn). It's
just a convenience (and a trivial amount of code to keep it in).
