During event delegation, handlers are registered higher in the DOM tree and then filtered when the event is triggered. This is great if you have 2000 td/th cells, you can attach a listener to tbody and filter down. But would i trigger the event programatically? Since the handler isnt actually registered on the td cells, i cant figure out a way to do this except maybe construct a fake event with the source element by hand and pass it into the handler somehow??
this is the biggest drawback to delegation that i have run into, it would be great to find a good way to manually trigger these events - if anyone has some advice, please share. thanks, Leon
