jQuery .trigger() multiple events

Question

I\'m writing a jQuery plugin and using .on and .trigger as my pub/sub system. However, I want to trigger multiple events in different scenarios.

Answer 1

What you have is fine... you can't trigger multiple events using a comma separated list. The trigger() constructor only takes an event name and optional additional parameters to pass along to the event handler.

An alterternative would be to trigger all events attached to an element, however, this may not meet your needs if you need to trigger specific events in different senarios:

$.each($this.data('events'), function(k, v) {
    $this.trigger(k);
});​
