Re: [jQuery] custom event firing

The function of your plugin is to trigger the event 'myEvent'.

The first time you invoke the hilight() method but now the 'myEvent' event
not bind to '#myDiv',so you cannot get the alert information.
The second time you click, the '#myDiv' has bind 'myEvent' one time, so you
get the alert information one time.
The third time you click, the '#myDiv' has bind 'myEvent' two time, so you
get two alert information.

To solve the problem, you should bind the 'myEvent' only once.

$('#myDiv').bind('myEvent',function(e){
alert('event fired');
});
$('#myButton').click(function(){
$('#myDiv').hilight();
})
