Triggering bound event handlers

stupid_triggerhandler.js

// The jQuery way.

$(elem).bind( 'foo.bar', function(event){
  do_something( event.target );
}).triggerHandler( 'foo.bar' );


// The old-school silly way.

function fn( event ){
  do_something( event.target );
};

$(elem).bind( 'foo.bar', fn );
fn( $.Event('click') );


// The new school silly way.

$(elem).bind( 'foo.bar', (function fn(event){
  do_something( event.target );
  return fn;
})( $.Event('click') ));
