[jQuery] events, this.options and empty()

I have a small problem with event-functions not seeing the
"this.options"-variable.

Small example:

I tried to work around it by supplying "this" in the "data"-parameter
for every .bind(),
but it is an ugly solution I think.

Also, is it bad to just call .empty() even if there are several events
bound to the nodes being discarded?

Thank you.
