Call public methods with parameters jQueryUI Widget

Question

I am currently using jQuery UI widget factories and i am kind of struck in calling public methods with parameter.

This is what i have done.

//Widget 
$.widget('ui.MyWidget',{

public_method_without_params: function(){
  //do something;
}

public_method_with_params: function(word){
  //do something;
}
});

I'm trying to call public_method from outside. If it doesn't have a parameter i would have done either

(i) $('#some-element').MyWidget("public_method_without_params")

(or)

(ii) $('#some-element').data("MyWidget").public_method_without_params();

Is it possible to call the public_method_with_params similar to (i) mentioned above?

Thanks.

You can. The syntax (I believe) is as follows:

$('#some-element').MyWidget("public_method_with_params", word);

Currently i have done this:

$('#some-element').data("MyWidget"). public_method_with_params(word);

and it works. Only problem is that i need to initialise "MyWidget" before this.

$('#some-element').MyWidget()
