jQuery trigger not working after opening/closing facebox

Question

I have a whole heap of checkboxes with an event handler selectVid.

$std_cbs.on('change', selectVid);

A "toggle all" checkbox toggles all other checkboxes, and triggers the "change" event for those checkboxes.

$checkboxes.prop('checked', is_checked).trigger('change');

This works great, until I open and close a facebox popup. After this when I toggle the "toggle all" checkbox the other checkboxes toggle as well, but their event handler selectVid is not called.

If I toggle individual checkboxes, selectVid is called as expected.

If I refresh the page everything works again. I've stepped through with Chrome's debugger, and the line $checkboxes.prop('checked', is_checked).trigger('change'); is always reached.

So why does trigger('change') no longer cause selectVid to be called after the facebox popup has been opened and closed?

Answer 1

Ended up solving this by accident by using the Self-Executing Anonymous Functions pattern, as explained in this article.

I assume there must have been a naming conflict when I opened facebox, which was resolved once I put all my functions and members in their own namespace (using the aforementioned pattern).
