jQuery.event.pause adds the ability to pause and resume events.

$('#todos').on('show', function(ev){
  ev.pause();
  
  $(this).load('todos.html', function(){
    ev.resume();
  });
})

Calling event.pause() works similar to event.stopImmediatePropagation() and stops calling other event handlers for the event. When event.resume() is called, it will continue calling events on event handlers after the 'paused' event handler.

Pause-able events complement the [jQuery.event.default default] event plugin, providing the ability to easy create widgets with an asynchronous API.

Limitations

The element and event handler that the pause is within can not be removed before resume is called.

Example

The following example shows a tabs widget where the user is prompted to save, ignore, or keep editing a tab when a new tab is clicked.
