javascript - Avoiding var _this = this; when writing jQuery event handlers -

not important question, here go..

how avoid using var _this = in jquery event handlers? i.e. don't doing:

var _this = this; $(el).click(function (event) {   //use _this access object , $(this) access dom element }); 

the following 2 ways not ideal

$(el).click($.proxy(function (event) {   //lost access correct dom element, i.e. event.target not enough (see http://jsfiddle.net/ne3n3/1/) }, this));  $(el).click({_this: this}, function (event) {   //have access $(this) , event.data._this, seems verbose }) 

ideally like

$(el).click(function (event) {   this.method(); // accessing object   event.realtarget; // accessing dom element }, this); // <= notice 

http://api.jquery.com/event.currenttarget/ says:

"this property typically equal of function."
