jQuery $.proxy() Method


The $.proxy() method in jQuery is used to take a function and returns a new one that will always have a particular context.

Syntax

The syntax is as follows −

$(selector).proxy(context,name)

Above, the context parameter is the name of object where the function can be found, whereas the name parameter is the existing function whose context will be changed

   $(document).ready(function(){
      demo = function(){
         this.txt = "Object property!";
         $("p").click($.proxy(this.myClick, this));
      };
      demo.prototype.myClick = function(event){
         alert(this.txt);
         alert(event.currentTarget.nodeName);
      };
      var a = new demo();
   });
</script>
</head>
