Bad example in bind docs on api.jquery
http://api.jquery.com/bind/
The bind docs have a bad example under "Stop only an event from bubbling by using the stopPropagation method."
It includes a use of event.stopPropagation in which it tests for existence and falls back to using event.cancelBubble exclaiming it's for IE support.
jQuery handles the issue with IE internally, this is bad use of jQuery (unnecessary because it doesn't apply since stopPropagation always exists, even in ie) and shouldn't be in the official docs.
