Question

How can I run “._openclose()” in the following swatchbook function for example?

I tried stuff like:

$( '#sb-container' ).swatchbook = function () {
    this._openclose()
}

There’s lots of useful information in the documentation for this plugin on this page. The jQuery stuff is towards the bottom.

Without having used the plugin, I’m not sure how it works exactly but I can see right off that your ‘this’ is not a jQuery object. Try:

$( '#sb-container' ).swatchbook = function () {
    $(this)._openclose()
}); 

OR

$( '#sb-container' ).swatchbook = function () {
    _self._openclose()
});

_self is declared as the variable ‘this’ in the plugin:

var _self = this;
