Both click AND dblclick: where is the truth?
I have an application where a number of elements whith both simple and double click have handlers bound.
It works fine with Firefox 3.6, Safari 5 and Chrome 10.
But with IE 8 and Opera 11, double click is never catched.
Looking for an explication, I first discovered that binding both click and dblclick is not advisable, since it could not be guaranteed to always work properly, due to different browsers practices, as stated at http://api.jquery.com/dblclick/.
Ok, sigh...
Then I also discovered the example proposed at http://api.jquery.com/bind/, which precisely uses that double binding.
And the most amazing: this example works fine with any browser!
So I'm totally confused:
. is it inadvisable or suggested?
. why does it work in the example, and not in my application, while the code is strictly the same?
Any comment welcome.
