How to get the elements bound to a model in Knockoutjs



I want to add a product, find the node an let it flash







products = observableArray([]);



new_product = new Product();

products.push(new_product);

$("tr", new_product.elements).flash();







I tried using afterAdd but it flashed each time I added something. I need to flash only with one of my adding function. The other functions which add should not flash the element.





NOTE: flash is a custom JQuery function

  1. Since an observable can be bound to multiple elements, your best bet is to really come at it from the element in the form of a custom binding.

    At its simplest, you could use a binding like:

    ko.bindingHandlers.flash = {
    init: function(element) {
    $(element).flash();
    }
    };


    Use it on your element like: <li data-bind="flash: true"></li>. In this case what you pass to the binding does not matter.

    Here is a sample: http://jsfiddle.net/rniemeyer/Exmvh/

    You can certainly pass options to your binding like:

    ko.bindingHandlers.flash = {
    init: function(element, valueAccessor) {
    var duration = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
    $(element).hide().flash(duration);
    }
    };


    And use it like: <li data-bind="flash: 500"></li> or use an observable that you can use to control the duration: <li data-bind="flash: selectedDuration"></li>

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
