I have 2 onclick handlers assigned to a document, each one returning false. But clicking on the document causes both handlers to be invoked disregarding "return false". Happens in all the browsers (FF 3, Opera 9, IE 7). Tried "click" and "mousedown" events, both have the same behavior.

<script src="jquery-1.2.3.js"></script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).bind("click", "data1", function() { alert('click1'); return false; });
    $(document).bind("click", "data2", function() { alert('click2'); return false; });
  });
</script>

- Hi,

quote from: ​http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2 "$(...).evalScripts() This method is no longer necessary in jQuery - all scripts included in HTML strings are automatically evaluated when injected into the document. No substitute method is needed."

if you have this, the click event gets bound (works).

any html/text <span id="foo">bar</span> any html/text
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#foo").click(...
});

if you do it the other way round, the event does not get bound (does not work):

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#foo").click(...
});
any html/text <span id="foo">bar</span> any html/text

I am not sure if this is a feature, for me it's a bug.
