Description

in jQuery 1.4 was fixed bubbling of submit event in IE6, but submit event bubbles in strange order through DOM

following example alerts "body.submit", "html.submit", "submit.1", "submit.2"

$('html').submit(function(event)
{
    alert('html.submit');
    return true;
});
$('body').submit(function(event)
{
    alert('body.submit');
    return true;
});
$('form')
.submit(function(event)
{
    alert('submit.1');
    return true;
})
.submit(function(event)
{
    alert('submit.2');
    return true;
})
;

order of binding does not matter, result is always the same; in FF 3.6 works fine ("submit.1", "submit.2", "body.submit", "html.submit")

IE version: 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208-2036

This is due to the simulated bubbling of submit events in IE. We'll have to see if it's possible to fire them in the correct order, but if not at least it bubbles so .live() and .delegate() can work.

_comment0:	I've looked at this but I don't see an easy way to fix it. One solution is to have IE's `submit` special-event handler check for the existence of bound events via `jQuery.data(event.target.form, "events").submit` and then set a flag to defer the bubbling of the delegated `submit` event until after the bound events run. That requires an additional "post-handle()-run" special events hook and I don't know that it's worth all the work and code size for an edge case on old IE browsers. → 1315506113232956
