Plugins

The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

Change callback "eval" to an actual function


Project:jQuery Countdown Plugin
Version:0.1
Component:Code
Category:task
Priority:minor
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:active
Description

Very minor request, but it seems that for this method it would make more sense to pass the callback as an actual function rather than a string to later be evaluated.

Line 28:

if(options.callback) options.callback();

rather than

if(options.callback) eval(options.callback);

This way you can either code the callback in-line or pass it by reference:

$('span.countdown').countdown({seconds: 30, callback: function() {
    alert('hello world');
});
