Event Internals in jQuery - Part Two
Part one of jQuery Event internals looked at the DOM Event specifications, the history of the Document Object Model (DOM) event models and reasoning behind why jQuery has an event system. In the second part of this series, we'll be looking at the
jQuery.eventobject andjQuery.Eventconstructor function, both of which play a pivotal role in managing events.
