// About: Support and Testing
// 
// Information about what version or versions of jQuery this plugin has been
// tested with, what browsers it has been tested in, and where the unit tests
// reside (so you can test it yourself).
// 
// jQuery Versions - none, 1.3.2, 1.4.2
// Browsers Tested - Internet Explorer 6-8, Firefox 2-3.6, Safari 3-4, Chrome 4-5, Opera 9.6-10.1.
// Unit Tests      - http://benalman.com/code/projects/jquery-throttle-debounce/unit/
// 
// About: Release History
// 
// 1.1 - (3/7/2010) Fixed a bug in <jQuery.throttle> where trailing callbacks
//       executed later than they should. Reworked a fair amount of internal
//       logic as well.
// 1.0 - (3/6/2010) Initial release as a stand-alone project. Migrated over
//       from jquery-misc repo v0.4 to jquery-throttle repo v1.0, added the
//       no_trailing throttle parameter and debounce functionality.
// 
// Topic: Note for non-jQuery users
// 
// jQuery isn't actually required for this plugin, because nothing internal
// uses any jQuery methods or properties. jQuery is just used as a namespace
// under which these methods can exist.
// 
// Since jQuery isn't actually required for this plugin, if jQuery doesn't exist
// when this plugin is loaded, the method described below will be created in
// the `Cowboy` namespace. Usage will be exactly the same, but instead of
// $.method() or jQuery.method(), you'll need to use Cowboy.method().

(function(window,undefined){
  '$:nomunge'; // Used by YUI compressor.
  
  // Since jQuery really isn't required for this plugin, use `jQuery` as the
  // namespace only if it already exists, otherwise use the `Cowboy` namespace,
  // creating it if necessary.
  var $ = window.jQuery || window.Cowboy || ( window.Cowboy = {} ),
    
    // Internal method reference.
    jq_throttle;
  
  // Method: jQuery.throttle
  // 
  // Throttle execution of a function. Especially useful for rate limiting
  // execution of handlers on events like resize and scroll. If you want to
  // rate-limit execution of a function to a single time, see the
  // <jQuery.debounce> method.
  // 
  // In this visualization, | is a throttled-function call and X is the actual
  // callback execution:
  // 
  // > Throttled with `no_trailing` specified as false or unspecified:
  // > ||||||||||||||||||||||||| (pause) |||||||||||||||||||||||||
  // > X    X    X    X    X    X        X    X    X    X    X    X
  // > 
  // > Throttled with `no_trailing` specified as true:
  // > ||||||||||||||||||||||||| (pause) |||||||||||||||||||||||||
  // > X    X    X    X    X             X    X    X    X    X
  // 
  // Usage:
  // 
  // > var throttled = jQuery.throttle( delay, [ no_trailing, ] callback );
  // > 
  // > jQuery('selector').bind( 'someevent', throttled );
  // > jQuery('selector').unbind( 'someevent', throttled );
  // 
  // This also works in jQuery 1.4+:
  // 
  // > jQuery('selector').bind( 'someevent', jQuery.throttle( delay, [ no_trailing, ] callback ) );
  // > jQuery('selector').unbind( 'someevent', callback );
  // 
  // Arguments:
  // 
  //  delay - (Number) A zero-or-greater delay in milliseconds. For event
  //    callbacks, values around 100 or 250 (or even higher) are most useful.
  //  no_trailing - (Boolean) Optional, defaults to false. If no_trailing is
  //    true, callback will only execute every `delay` milliseconds while the
  //    throttled-function is being called. If no_trailing is false or
  //    unspecified, callback will be executed one final time after the last
  //    throttled-function call. (After the throttled-function has not been
  //    called for `delay` milliseconds, the internal counter is reset)
  //  callback - (Function) A function to be executed after delay milliseconds.
  //    The `this` context and all arguments are passed through, as-is, to
  //    `callback` when the throttled-function is executed.
  // 
  // Returns:
  // 
  //  (Function) A new, throttled, function.
