Hmm, a quick test on the firebug console showed that it works, but not sure about the context..?

without having run that code, i don’t think it would work. ‘element’ is a jQuery selector object, so i don’t think that code would work. the call to ‘element[elementAttr]‘ would try to look for an element within the selector, at index elementAttr, which wouldn’t be valid.

Great Stuff Dude!
btw, any reason why you shouldn’t replace that code-

model.bind(“change:” + modelAttr, function(changedModel, val){
switch(elementAttr){
case “html”:
element.html(val);
break;
case “text”:
element.text(val);
break;
default:
element.attr(elementAttr, val);
}
});

with the following: (?)

model.bind(“change:” + modelAttr, function(changedModel, val){
if (element[elementAttr]) {
element[elementAttr](val);
}
else {
element['attr'](elementAttr, val);
}
});

Just curious…
