/*
 * jquery.subscribe.1.2.3
 * 
 * Implementation of publish/subcription framework for jQuery
 * Requires use of jQuery. Tested with jQuery 1.4 and above

 *
 *  Release Notes:
 *  
 *  version 1.1:
 *  
 *  Fixed unexpected behavior which can occur when a script in a embedded page (page loaded in div,tab etc.) subscribes a handler for a topic using
 *  the jQuery subscribe ($.subscribe) or a no-id element but this subscribe plugin is not reloaded within that embedded page (for example, when
 *  script is included in containing page) . In this case, if the embedded page is reloaded without reloading the entire page (and plugin), the
 *  subscription could be made multiple times for the topic, which will call the handler multiple times each time the topic is published. 
 *  Code has been added to prevent this when the subscription is made using the non-element subscribe ($.subscribe()), which assures that only one
 *  subscription is made for a topic for a given window/frame. To prevent this from happening for an element subscription ($elem.subscribe()), make
 *  sure that the element has an id attribute.
 *  
 *  version 1.2
 *  Added the isSubscribed() method
 *  
 *  version 1.2.1
 *  Fixed to work with jQuery 1.4 changes 
 *     - changed $() syntax to $(document)
 *     
 *  version 1.2.2
 *  Added subscribe overwrite property (default = false) to handle 1.4.2 changes and
 *  allow for multiple subscriptions by the same element to the same topic
 *     - changed $() syntax to $(document)
 *     
 *  version 1.2.3
 *  jslint fixes
 *     
 *  Added protection to variables when file is loaded multiple times
