Thank you, that fixed it. Is the limitation of is() a javascript limitation, or a jQuery limitation? Would this be coming in a new version of jQuery?
Also, with event delegation, would you recommending using it for all event instances on a page? I have a few places where a single click event is added to an ID, and I figure it is really not necessary to mess with event delegation there.
