Unbind a jQuery Plugin?

I have a plugin like

$.fn.mycoolplugin

which binds mousemove to the document like

$(document).("mousemove", function() {
    //bunch of stuff
});

after you call the function on a selector

$('开发者_开发知识库.myclass').mycoolplugin();

How would I unbind this because the mousemove is bound to the document and OTHER stuff in my code uses mouseenter and mouseleave ?

You can unbind any handler by calling .unbind:

$(document).unbind("mousemove");

This will unbind all mousemove handlers from document. Do note that doing this might break the plugin's functionality (with the risk of breaking any other code/plugin that adds mousemove handler to document).

You would change how your plugin binds and then releases it's attached handlers like so:

1. You make a function that is responsible for binding all your initial events (such as the mousemover, etc)
2. You make a function that is responsible for unbinding all your initial events.

3. When you bind to an event, do not use an anoymous function. Instead, define a specific handler for the event. That way, when you attach, you do so like so:

   $(document).bind('mousemove', myFuncDelegate);

And then when you need to remove it from scope, you unbind:

 $(document).unbind('mousemove', myFuncDelegate);

That way you only unattach your events. See http://api.jquery.com/unbind/ for details.

Simply call your bind method on load, and when you decide to unload it, call the unbind method.
