I haven't tested it so I don't know if it would work or not. Thanks :) Hi 3n,

call() is part of the core function object, and it is the function Mootools and jQuery frameworks use (together with apply) to set the this pointer inside object instances, events, etc.

But yeah, if bind works you could use that too. I haven’t tested it so I don’t know if it would work or not.

Thanks :)
