Manual (JS, not using jQuery) invoking of event handlers doesn't fire events attached using jQuery

Description (last modified by john)

Event handlers attached by jQuery don't get triggered when calling onclick (onsubmit, onAnything) event handler manually from JavaScript. jQuery got these default handlers mapped to jQuery.event.handle function, but this function can not recognize the type of event when invoked manually (event parameter is null in that case). Illustration and more information could be found here: http://jquery.com/pipermail/discuss_jquery.com/2007-March/028421.html

This error gets particularily exposed when combining jQuery with ASP.NET, because ASP.NET is often submitting a form using JavaScript and calling onsubmit event handler beforehand. So in that case, none of the submit handlers assigned using jQuery will not be fired. Illustration and more information about this case can be found at http://jquery.com/pipermail/dev_jquery.com/2007-March/000760.html

I have attached my patch, it solves the problem but I would like someone to review it. Thanks.

need: Review

The event module in the latest SVN is now using DOM Level 2 event handlers (addEventListener/attachEvent) and this patch no longer applies.

This should be resolved now, since jQuery doesn't use the .onFOO handlers anymore.
