I was trying to catch an event on body tag, for example this doesn't
work as expected:
head
script type=text/javascript src=js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js/script
/head
body onclick=alert('body!')
div id=one onclick=alert('div!') style=width:100px;height:
100px;border:1px solid gray;
!-- blank --
/div
script
$('#one').trigger('click');
/script
/body
although this one works:
head
script type=text/javascript src=js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js/script
/head
body
div onclick=alert('body!')
div id=one onclick=alert('div!') style=width:
100px;height:100px;border:1px solid gray;
!-- blank --
/div
/div
script
$('#one').trigger('click');
/script
/body
it took me sometime to figure this out, ' cause it was not stated
anywhere. Why - body tag is not considered as parent?

New in jQuery 1.3:
All triggered events now bubble up the DOM tree. For example if you
trigger an event on a paragraph then it will trigger on that element
first, then on the parent element, and its parent, and so on up to the
document. The event object will have a .target property equal to the
original triggered element. You can prevent the bubbling by calling
stopPropagation() or by returning false from your
callback.http://docs.jquery.com/Events/trigger#eventdata
In other words triggered event should bubble up to it's parent
container, should it? If yes, then I want to catch it on parents level
and trigger it on another child of choice, and so on. But it doesn't
seem to bubble... :(
Any help appreciated.
