jQuery.event.dispatch IE8 bug ( if event.target is removed in "click" handling )

[xprommer@…]

After cur is iterated:

...
for ( cur = event.target; cur != this; cur = cur.parentNode || this )
...

the top element in IE8 won't be a null, it will be #document-fragment, and

jQuery.find( sel, this, null, [ cur ] )

will be failed with message: "Object doesn't support property or method 'getAttribute'" in:

function( elem ) { return elem.getAttribute("id") === id; };

[anonymous]

In IE8, after DOMElement is removed, its 'parentNode' won't be a null, it will be #document-fragment
