Ok, looked at the event and ajax code. There's no way to distinguish targets, as that information is not passed into the $.ajax call and thus cannot be used when ajax events are triggered. So, they end up triggered 'globally', meaning they are made to not bubble and be called directly upon all elements which have handlers bound for that event.
I've posted a thread on the dev list to discuss a way to add that info and trigger the events in more normal fashion: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/caf31f67a3ac159c On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 9:39 AM, Nathan Bubna<nbu...@gmail.com> wrote: > So, you have a page: > > <html><head> > <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.1.3.2.js"></script> > <script type="text/javascript"> > $(function() { > var onajax = function(e) { alert($(e.target).text()); }; > var onclick = function(e) { $(e.target).load('foobar'); }; > $('#a,#b').ajaxStart(onajax).click(onclick); > }); > </script></head><body> > <div id="a">foo</div> > <div id="b">bar</div> > </body></html> > > Would you expect one alert or two when you clicked on 'foo'?
