$$, the each function and binding

[Abbas]

Hi,
I encountered a scenario wherin if i do

$$(some selector).each(function(node){
someFunction(node, this)
}).bind(this)

, the 'this' object within someFunction() is not the original context
that i bound the 'each' function to.

Can you please explain?
Thanks

Hi,

You're calling #bind on the return value from #each, which is
incorrect -- #each returns the enumerable object, which doesn't have a
#bind method.

What you're looking for is the second _parameter_ to #each, details in
the docs[1].
