Global events are undocumented and deprecated

[aland]

In the processDoc function there are some global events which are causing issues with newer versions of jQuery.

$.event.trigger('taconite-begin-notify', [taconiteDoc]);
$.event.trigger('taconite-rawdata-notify', [rawData]);
$.event.trigger('taconite-complete-notify', [xml, !!status, status === true ? null : status]);

Can these be easily changed to be non-global events? I tried the below but get a new error. I'm not clear where these custom events are defined, for example I don't see any calls to 'bind' them to the object so I'm not sure how else I can fix it.

I've tried:

$(taconiteDoc).event.trigger('taconite-begin-notify');
$(rawData).event.trigger('taconite-rawdata-notify');
$(xml).event.trigger('taconite-complete-notify', !!status, status === true ? null : status]);

But get "TypeError: $(...).event is undefined"

From what I can see it's triggering some custom handlers and passing over the XML data to the custom handler. I.e. if you wanted to do something at the beginning of taconite processing the document you could define the following function

    $(document).on("taconite-begin-notify",{}, function(event, taconiteDoc) {
        console.log(taconiteDoc);
    });

As long as you haven't got any code reliant on them custom events you could comment them out.

thanks @berridgeab commenting the lines out does seem to work.

now that I can see how these events can be used, I wonder if it's possible to make it all work without global events.
