jquery.fire.js

// jquery fire() allows you to easily trigger jquery events with named arguments
// e.g. $(".myelement").fire("customEvent", {arg1: "say", arg2: "hello"});
// in your event, just use e.arg1, and e.arg2 to access these variables
;(function($) {     
  $.fn.fire = function(eventName, arguments){
    var arguments = arguments || {};
    arguments["type"] = eventName;
    this.trigger(arguments);
