Just wanted a way of attaching a jQuery search plugin to an input element (or collection) and be able to pass specific options at invoke time:This is the plugin code(function($){$.fn.extend({  enableSearch:function(opts,callback){    return this    .bind('focus',function(){      $(this.form.elements).val(''); // clears all search inputs      $(this).trigger('keyup'); // triggers the search on an empty input element    }) // END focus bind    .bind('keyup',function(){       var searchData = $.extend({},'source':this.form.id,'column':$(this).attr('id'),'value':$(this).val()},opts);       $.ajax({         url:opts.URL,         type:'post',         data:searchData,         dataType:'json'       })       .promise().then(function(returndata){         callback(returndata);       }); // END ajax call       return false;    }); // END bind keyup  } //END fn enableSearch})})(jQuery);This is the call on the collection:$('input') // collection on which to enable searching  .enableSearch({   URL:'<server side script url>',   extra_param:extra_param_value, // extra param which gets passed in the data to the server side fn  },function(data){    //actions performed on the returned data, e.g. update a list  });I couldn't get my idea to work until I came across the jQuery promise implmentation. Opens many doors.Works for me - any thoughts?
