I've already removed the existing stopImediatePropagation hook that existed for .live, it'll be completely gone in 1.3.1. > Another question I have is: Should jQuery try to simulate the way > traditional propagation works?

The result will make all delegation much slower - and for a case that's quite obscure (binding two wrapped live events and expecting a different output?). Let's say there were 100 live events bound - this would mean that 100 selectors would need to be run and for each match they would need to be sorted and compared against every other match to see which contains the other - and only then run them and stop the propagation if it exists. Again, this isn't traditional propagation occurring here - a live event is saying a very different thing from a normal bind. Unless there's a very simple solution here I don't think it's worth the effort to go in to. --John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
