Description

Supports a new 'target' option for $.ajax. When specified, all ajax events (ajaxStart and such) are triggered on that, instead of being globally triggered. For $.fn.load calls (and plugins that do similar things), this provides a means to identify the element upon which the ajax action is being done.

Function $(selector).load() was modified in changeset [6563] in order to use the DOM element as the context of the call to $.ajax.

Looking at jQuery most recent source code, it looks like this change was reverted:

http://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/ajax.js#L56

Is there a reason for that?

If you need a context for an operation, you have to do it manually through $.ajax. Automatic context change for the global events is never provided, consistently.
