How to reference the source element when using multiple instances? about jquery-filedrop HOT 5 CLOSED

Re the bit about how I changed the event callbacks, I have rolled that back, events are working with the vanilla version of jquery-filedrop.js, but still the way that I am attempting to use multiple instances is not working for me.

Having the same problem here. Seems to me like opts gets overwritten with every .filedrop() call..

Like nphase said, opts gets overwritten each time you call .filedrop().

Here is a quick fix: https://gist.github.com/1384760 It's not the correct way to do it...I've just moved all the functions accessing opts inside the scope of .filedrop(). It's not very memory efficient, a real object oriented approach, or attaching opts to the corrosponding element using e.g. $.data probably be better? Works ok if you just need two different drop targets though...

I have this same problem as well. Didn't notice it until I had already started using this plugin in a production system. I've submitted a pull request based on rewrite much like the gist of hansent. It just makes opts private to each instance of filedrop and also makes the helper functions private as well. I guess if you put a bunch of instances on a single page you could end up bloating memory, but that wasn't a concern for my system.
