Question

I’m using jQuery proxy() to enable scope inside a handler when using addEventListener:

document.addEventListener('onSomeEvent', $.proxy(myHandler, this));

Now, normally when I want to remove event I used to call:

document.removeEventListener('onSomeEvent', myHandler, false);

How can I do that when using the $.proxy() option in jQuery?

Answer 1

var myHandlerProxied = $.proxy(myHandler, this);
document.addEventListener('onSomeEvent', myHandlerProxied);

document.removeEventListener('onSomeEvent', myHandlerProxied, false);
