Thanks for the tip, Alex. This would certainly work in some cases but,
unless I'm missing something, I believe it's only when one rectangle is
a DOM child/descendant of the other, right? My rectangles are DOM
siblings, and sometimes not even siblings but nieces and nephews. As I
understand it, the bubbling event only moves along the DOM via
parent/child relationships on it's way to it's target. My other
rectangle isn't in the path of event travel so it never would never
receive the event.
