Bubbling is rather handy pretty often. Especially so if you either require similar functionality between different elements within a container, or want to avoid rebinding events to stuff as it gets loaded / unloaded dynamically (ajax or otherwise). It's an easy way to say that "stuff inside x works like this", and it keeps working without a hassle when you add / remove stuff from it. And you only need to bind a single event listener instead of many. -- Suni _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
