EventDelegation Class

Defined in: latest/events.js:142
Module: DOM
Parent Module: JSFramework

Event delegation - Attach an event handler to a container element to handle events for inner elements. This has several advantages, including improved performance when a lot of elements are involved (as less event handlers are attached), and not having to attach event handlers to AJAX-loaded content.
