jQuery bind event listener before another

Question

Using the prettyPhoto plugin to open modal-style content containers, and trying to integrate with Google Analytics\' Event Tracking to track when videos get opened.

Answer 1

Worked for me with older and newer jQuery versions:

/**

 */
jQuery.fn.getEvents = function() {
    if (typeof(jQuery._data) == 'function') {
        return jQuery._data(this.get(0), 'events') || {};
    } else if (typeof(this.data) == 'function') { // jQuery version < 1.7.?
        return this.data('events') || {};
    }
    return {};
};

jQuery.fn.preBind = function(type, data, fn) {
    this.each(function () {
        var $this = jQuery(this);

        $this.bind(type, data, fn);

        var currentBindings = $this.getEvents()[type];
        if (jQuery.isArray(currentBindings)) {
            currentBindings.unshift(currentBindings.pop());
        }
    });
    return this;
};

But beware, this functions can only return/prebind that events that was set with jQuery itself.
