So I put out a plugin today to acheive all of the goals stated previously:
- Data, event data as is currently supported in the event system - Bubbling, starting with event.target, and traversing up the parent tree to match the delegate selector - Canceling default event behavior, parent tree-walking, other delegate handlers on the same element - Intelligent Removal, being able to remove all delegates, remove delegates by event type (or namespace), event type and selector (and sometimes handler) Please take a look and discuss how to best implement delegation in the core. There are a lot of plugins out there which solve the same problem. Ariel has "listen" and "intercept", Jorn has "delegate" in his "validation," plugin to name a few... perhaps the best features of each should be considered. http://plugins.jquery.com/project/delegate http://blog.threedubmedia.com/2008/10/jquerydelegate.html http://threedubmedia.com/demo/delegate/ On Aug 25, 10:51 am, "mike.helgeson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Event delegation is on the roadmap for 1.3 > > http://docs.jquery.com/JQuery_1.3_Roadmap > > My question is: Who is taking the lead on this particular task? > I have some thoughts and solutions for event delegation that are a > little more robust than Joern's delegate plugin.
