Question

The following jQuery code adds an event by calling a function scroll_position

jQuery.event.add(window, "scroll", scroll_position);

function scroll_position() {
        var p = jQuery(window).scrollTop();
        jQuery(scrollbox).css('position',((p+10)>start) ? 'fixed' : 'absolute');
        jQuery(scrollbox).css('top',((p+10)>start) ? '10px' : '');
    }

Is it possible to add this event without using the function scroll_position? I mean, I just want to do same thing without using a function. (I dont have any reason for not using the function, just learning the jQuery).

Answer 1

What do you need a event for when you do not want to do anything with it?

You can do inline functions, e.g.

jQuery.event.add(window, "scroll", function() {
    alert("magic happens here");
});

thus ridding yourself of the need of a function of your own…
