@Jim Benton,

Use “$$(tabList).panels = $([]);” to run this on JQuery 1.3.2

This is really great. I’ve been trying to figure out a good way to develop complex widgets in jQuery, and this pattern does the best job I’ve seen of allowing functionality to be overridden without emulating classical inheritance.

Also: this is obvious from looking at the source, but the examples on Github require jQuery 1.3.3pre. I was getting some errors with 1.3.2 before I noticed this. So make sure you have the correct version.

@Mike I was also a bit confused by that part. Would love to see it explained a bit more.

Great tip. The $$ helper is pretty rad. I’d recommend using a different name though to avoid conflicts with other libraries. I used $o (for object).

@mike the link looks like this ….

Doing $(“#first”) gets a DOM element with ID “first”, so this is how we connect the panels to the links.

Hi Yehuda,

I don’t quite get the getPanel function;
You pass a DOM link into it, you retrieve the href attribute but then you also convert that back to a jQuery object? Why that?

And then you convert it another time to a jQuery object at line 105 (line 6) while it is allready a jQuery object.. Or am i missing something?

Thanx
Mike

Thank you, realy great post! Good idea is to separate DOM and event driving on different layers of abstraction. This is new pattern for plugin writing!
