I came accross arguments.callee.caller which seemed to solve the problem unbinding anonymous functions, however I don't really understand why this works in some cases but not others.
//Example 1
document.addEventListener('click', function(event){
console.log("Example 1");
console.log(arguments.callee.caller);
event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(event.type, arguments.callee.caller);
});
//Example 2
document.addEventListener('click', (function(event){
return function(){
console.log("Example 2");
console.log(arguments.callee.caller);
event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(event.type, arguments.callee.caller);
}();
}));Why does Example 2 successfully unbind, however Example 1 doesn't when all I am doing is returning an identical anonymous function?
