Get id of another view in Backbone

Question

I have two views, one of them have a search box that includes a button "Search" with id="search". In the second view I want when click in button "Search" make a search. But for this happens I need to get the id. How can do this?

Here the code of my second view, but not works because #search is in the first view:

ev.views.Home = Backbone.View.extend({
events: {
        'click #search' : 'searchKey',
});

Answer 1

All the events hash are limited to the views el. Hence the event won't be triggered. Access the element Globally and bind the event using jquery in view's initialize.

     ev.views.Home = Backbone.View.extend({
       initialize:function(){
       $('#search').click(this.searchKey);
      }

});

Edit : this answer just solves the problem. consider Peter Wagener answer.
