JQuery doesn't catch Selenium's keyPress or Type

Using JQuery 1.04 and Selenium 0.7, JQuery form observers don't catch Selenium filling out forms.

Any work on this?

Not yet.

If I add a jQuery submit handler to a form and call the submit method of the DOM form element, jQuery's handler isn't invoked either.

var form = document.getElementById("myform");
$(form).submit(function() { alert("form submit"); });
form.submit();

I guess the same applies to Selenium and jQuery.

I have no idea how to solve this without Selenium knowing about jQuery. Did similar problems occur with other libraries?

Selenium testing is the up and coming way for developers to test Ajax apps. Can we modify jQuery to invoke handlers?

Another idea is that Selenium takes plugins in the form of a user.js. Perhaps one could be written to let it know about jQuery?

Would the latest changes to the event system to use DOM Level 2 handlers change the status of this bug?

There's no way that we could build an automated test for this, so we're just going to have to assume that it's ok, until proven otherwise.
