jQuery v1.3.2 rev 6246 (and I just tried with the current nightly build too - same behaviour)
Given the following html which basically has a button floated over the top right corner of an image: <div class="abc"> <div class="xyz"> <img src="..." title="..." /> <button type="button">X</button> </div> </div> When I set up a couple of live handlers: $('.abc .xyz img').live('click', function() { // handler A.... }) $('.abc .xyz button').live('click', function() { // handler B.... }) If I click on the image taking care to not position the cursor over the bounds of the button, I find both handlers are executed. Am I doing something wrong? I have even gone to the trouble of adding a unique class to the img and button elements and changing the handlers to: $('.my_unique_img_class').live('click', function() { // handler A.... }) $('. my_unique_button_class').live('click', function() { // handler B.... }) but the behaviour is the same. Interestingly, Firefox works correctly. Chrome + Safari 4 exhibit the problem. Cheers! Lee
