There is no way to disconnect connections created via NodeList.connect()

[mrblakwell]

if I connect an event to a bunch of nodes:

var foo = dojo.query(QUERY).connect("onchange",function(){/* .... */})

there is nothing in foo that allows me to disconnect these events. there are workarounds (see below) but nothing quick and easy.

from the #dojo IRC channel:

[14:56] mrblakwell: how do I disconnect events added via dojo.query(QUERY).connect("onchange",function(){do stuff})

[14:58] slightlyoff: mrblakwell: you don't =

[14:58] mrblakwell: sweet

[14:58] slightlyoff: mrblakwell: so I've been thinking about it

[14:58] slightlyoff: mrblakwell: and I keep thinking that connect could add a this.handles()

[14:59] slightlyoff: so you could get/keep a list of the handles that any connect() creates

[14:59] slightlyoff: which you'd then pass to something like NodeList?.disconnect(handles)

[15:00] slightlyoff: mrblakwell: if you file the bug I'll take it = )

following that, ptwobrussel suggested this as a workaround:

var handles =

dojo.query("a").map(function(x) {

return dojo.connect(x, "onclick",

function(evt) { /* ... */ });

});

/* Sometime later... */ dojo.forEach(handles, function(x) {

dojo.disconnect(x);

});

Move all milestone 1.1 tickets to 1.2, except for reopened tickets and tickets opened after 1.1RC1 was released.

defer dormant enhancements to "future" (they don't look like they're getting fixed soon so might as well mark as such)
