[removed] function call to itself

Question

I suppose the following code:

jQuery(\"#mybutton\").click(function(){

    //do something

});

How could I recall to this function \"anonym

Answer 1

You can indeed name your anonymous function:

jQuery("#mybutton").click(function doWork(){
  if (working){
    setTimeout(doWork, 200);
    return false;
  }
  //do something    
});

You can also use arguments.callee:

jQuery("#mybutton").click(function(){
  if (working){
    setTimeout(arguments.callee, 200);
    return false;
  }
  //do something    
});

I'd go with the former.

Answer 2

Can you explain why you can't name the function? You can use arguments.callee to get a reference to the current function, but that is deprecated and I'm not sure how much support it has among current browsers.
