javascript - jQuery remove() callback?

Question

Is there an official way to hook in to jQuery.remove() so that a function can be called before/after?

I have a system whereby certain handlers are attached to elements, and sometimes these elements are removed (eg. a UI widget whose primary element is removed by some other action on the page). If handlers could be notified that their primary element was removed, I can run cleanup routines a little easier.

you can use jQuery.when():

$.when($('div').remove()).then( console.log('div removed') );
