Message: [QUOTE="Matt Kruse, post: 4966803"] To be fair, though, I'm not sure it's jQuery's fault as much as the fault of the "unobtrusive" strategy of applying scripted behavior to an unscripted page once the DOM is loaded. In most cases this has worked well for me, but in some cases it's just not practical. Since I work primarily on internal web apps, I've also often resorted to using inline event handlers, etc. Depending on the situation, different solutions speed up IE's rendering speed considerably. The problem with event delegation to a common container is that objects can cancel the bubble. If you aren't in control of all parts of the page, you never know what might prevent the event from reaching your container. If IE would support event capturing my life would be easier... I don't work on an Intranet. I typically work on web applications (whether internet or intranet, but behind a login) used by small groups having a single standard web browser. Most of the time this is IE. It has also been FF at times. Schroedinger's Browser, perhaps? You can test all browsers simultaneously until you turn on your monitor and observe it ;) Matt Kruse [/QUOTE]
