Question

So on Friday I asked this question and it wasn’t well written, let me explain this in better detail:

So this might sound remedial, but I have this container that I include a mousedown event and all I want to do is toggle it without destroying the properties of it.

If it do :

 $("#div").unbind("mousedown")  // This will just destroy the event.

I was thinking I could move the event to a dom element that isn’t being used? And then just switch it back when I’m done…

So this is whats happening : I have a plugin lets just call it Vinny for now

  $("#div").vinny(settings);

vinny has a mousedown event that I want to enable/disable via a trigger.

I was thinking I would have a $fn.disableMouseDown function that could disable it, but was curious if theirs a way to unbind a mouseDown on the dom but not destroy it?

If you know of a quick way of doing it help me out! Thanks, Vinny

Hey guys thanks for all the ideas, but I kinda did a hacky way of approaching this.

I explainz:

So this plugin on the mousedown is binded in the plugin.init() and in their i defined a local function checks disableValue and in their I just check the dom for a or do a bool return and run that against the other function that was already present in exiting the mousedown event.

Make sense? I hope so too

Thanks,
