Recursion in jQuery event



This event is attached to a set of elements:







var elems = $(this).filter(function(){

...

});







How can I trigger a change event on these elements within a change event handler, but ignore the current element?







elems.bind('change input', function(){



// do some stuff...



// then trigger change, but not on "this", to avoid the recursion issue

elems.change();



});







Basically I want ot ignore this from elems , but only in my "manual" change()-call above...

  1. var elems = $(this).filter(function(){
    ...
    });

    elems.bind('change input', function(){


    // then trigger change, but not on "this", to avoid the recursion issue
    elems.not(this).change();

    });


    Though I must say, this scenario looks like a poor design issue.
    When element get changed it sets a change event callback to some elements including him self... sound awkward and that recursion is just a symptom to other bigger problem...

    It probably can be done in a a lot cleaner way then this.

  2. You can just filter out the current element:

    elems.not(this).trigger('change'); // or just .change()

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?

Java Urban Myths

Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
