does jquery have an equivalent of dojo.hitch()?

Question

Forgive my ignorance as I am not as familiar with jquery. Is there an equivalent to dojo.hitch()? It returns a function that is guaranteed to be executed in the given scope.

Answer 1

I know this has been answered, but not correctly. jQuery.proxy is what you are looking for I believe.

UPDATE

Many, many years later after lots of JavaScript work, and after stripping out my usage of jQuery since browser compatibility has become less of an issue, I would recommend using Function.prototype.bind over jQuery.proxy, as @bobince suggested. While this is still the correct answer to the original question, I feel obligated to direct people to a vanilla solution rather than relying on jQuery.
