JQuery plugin help

Question

I am building a little plugin for jquery and on the default options I want to give if it should be used "bind" or "live" for the click event. So I have

var defaults = { method: 'bind' /* or live */ };
var options = $.extend(defaults, options);

and the plugin continues

$(selector).**method**('click', function(event) { /* code  */});

Now, how can I make that the method is chosen by the default method value, without having to write the following.

if(options.method == 'live') { $(selector).live('click', function(event) { /* code  */}); } else { $(selector).bind('click', function(event) { /* code  */});}

Thanks.

You should do this:

$(selector)[options.method]('click', function(event) { 
  /* code  */
});
