In one of my backbone.js view classes, I have something like:
...
events: {
'click ul#perpage span' : 'perpage'
},
perpage: function() {
// Access the text of the span that was clicked here
// Something like: alert($(element).text())
},
...
because my per page markup might have something like:
<ul id="perpage">
<li><span>5</span></li>
<li><span>10</span></li>
</ul>
So how exactly can I find information about the element that caused the event? Or in this instance, that was clicked?

Normally on an event bind, you would just use $(this), but I'm fairly sure Backbone views are set up so that this always refer to the view, so try this:
ReplyDeleteperpage: function(ev) {
alert($(ev.target).text());
}
ev.target can be misleading, you should use ev.currentTarget as described on http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_order.html
