Could you please tell when line numbering doesn’t work?
I’ll be glad to fix it.

Comment on Extending jQuery UI Widgets Revisited by Danny

@peschler:
You’re absolutely correct (I’ve updated it). slice starts at 0!
I will admit, though, that in my own code I removed callSuper in favor of using apply directly:
$.yi.superbox.prototype.move.apply(this, arguments)
I think it’s just as clear as this.callSuper(’yi.superbox’, ‘move’)
and communicates better what is going on. It’s more verbose, and I may change my mind.

I wrote a recent post
on my most recent code.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,

great post. I’m currently using your code to create a wizard which derives from the ui.tabs widget and everything works like a charm! Thanks for saving me a lot of time.

While using the callSuper() is spotted at bug - at least it did not work to call a superclass function with arguments until I corrected the following code:
[code]
var CallSuper = {
callSuper: function(superclass, method){
// return superclass.prototype[method].apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 3));
return superclass.prototype[method].apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2));
}
};
[/code]

That is: the slice should start at 2, otherwise the first argument will be sliced away.

Great tutorial. I did read ui.widget source, but with your help now everything fits in place. Thanks.
