jquery 1.8 trigger

Question

I'm working on a project for a customer. The site uses jQuery 1.8.2. In a previous project (jQuery 1.9.1) I use:

$("select#testbuecher").trigger("add", [$item]);

for a custom event. This does not work with 1.8.2.

The error in Firebug:

NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS: Not enough arguments

Anyone here who knows what's wrong with the code?

Answer 1

I just found a solution. Instead of using only "trigger", "triggerHandler" do the job.

$("select#testbuecher").triggerHandler("add", [$item]);
