    Binding a function to any class method in MooTools

    Published July 8th, 2008

    Some time back, while experimenting with MooTools, I found myself with the requirement to be able to call a function whenever a particular method on a given class was called. In effect, I needed to treat the class’s method as an event and fire a particular function when the method was called.
