Hi Suni, I am disappointed. The results of your tests show clearly that there is a problem with my code/environment.
I have put my full html/js code at the end of this mail. As you can see it is minimal. I have made new tests with the jQuery nightly build without improvement. I have tested my code with FF 2.0.0.10, Gnome Epiphany 2.20.1 and Opera 9.24 also without improvement. I have tried with the simple click event. This works fine but performing a double click freeze FF and Epiphany with 3500 span elements even when just the simple click event is bind. Have an other idea ? This is my code as you can see there is nothing special in it : <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/ TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Align</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" > $(document).ready(function() { $('.bioNumUnit').dblclick(function(event){ $('body').append('<div>dblclick on ' + event.target.id + '</div>');}); } ); </script> </head> <body> <div class="bioNumUnit"> <span class="siteSelector" id="s1">1</span> ... </div> </body> </html> On 27 nov, 15:49, Suni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tested your code (FF and IE) with up to 5000 span-elements and could > not reproduce the issue.
