Description (last modified by brandon)

This is how event triggering should be re-worked:

.trigger("event"):

  • Should be cancellable.
  • Should only trigger bound event handlers.

.triggerAction("event")

  • Should trigger default browser action
  • Should not be cancellable
  • Should not allow clicking on links in IE
  • If no action exists, call trigger("event")

.click()

  • Should use triggerAction

So .click() will only use triggerAction and will not use trigger at all?

comment:3 Changed 16 years ago by john

Correct - but triggerAction will call trigger if no default action exists. (Since default actions end up triggering the event handlers anyway.)

I'd like to swap "trigger" and "triggerAction" in this description. otherwise, existing script that use "trigger" to trigger default browser actions would break ! :)

On the other hand, "triggerAction" would give a new feature... and that's exactly what your description of "trigger" is.
