Example

Enforce the context of the "test" function, inside objPerson:

$("button").click($.proxy(objPerson, "test"));

Definition and Usage

The $.proxy method takes an existing function and returns a new one with a particular context.

This method is often used for attaching events to an element where the context is pointing back to a different object.

Tip: If you bind the function returned from $.proxy, jQuery will still unbind the correct function if passed the original.

Parameter Description
function The existing function to be called
