And it has a callback function in its options, which returns true/false for indication certain action.<br /><br />Since it&#39;s a function, you will need to supply a function in order to return true/false because it has to be invoked. It&#39;s inconvenient if it&#39;s true or false in all cases.<br /><br />Even though I don&#39;t use that plugin, just happen to read its code and it got me an idea. So, I was trying to see if I can make primitive value true/false to be callable, e.g. `true()`. The answer is no, but I stumbled upon Boolean on MDN. It brought me back to this again, which I was aware of and I decided I can write a little about this.livibetter[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803541356848955053.post-33979535849370322112012-02-03T16:44:22.189-08:002012-02-03T16:44:22.189-08:00Boolean should never be used, i guess.<br /><br />&quot;!!&quot; is your friend if you need a quick conversion from anything to boolean.^^Nicolas Fritz[email protected]
