It should also be mentioned that events triggered on detached elements (not part of their ownerDocument's dom tree) fire event handlers attached to their ownerDocument despite the fact that ownerDocument is not on the element's "parent chain".

Example:
jQuery(document).bind('foo', function() { console.log('foo triggered on document'); });
jQuery('

').trigger('insert');

Console output:
foo triggered on document

Apparently .trigger('submit') wont work if you have the id OR the name set to “submit” for a form element. This differs from other cases because they all said that only the name attribute cant have that value.

I have a question. I have 8 buttons that have unique incrementing id's and a shared class.

...

In order to prevent me from duplicating code, I bound a click event to the btnChapter class.

$('.btnChapter').click(function(){ .. do stuff .. });

How do I trigger() only #btnChapter_2? The following doesn't seem to work.

$('#btnChapter_2').click() does nothing.

It won't be possible to adjust the target in the event passed into the trigger'ed method. The target will always be the element you trigger'ed. I've tried all the methods described in this page to adjust the event target but had no luck. (It would be cool if we could change the event target, but I can't say much more without understanding the constaints.)

Exactly as intended – hence the title “Example: Clicks to button #2 also trigger a click for button #1.”
