It seems far easier to just fire the event at the element wherever it is. It also seems more appropriate to send the event to that element, since that is the element that failed. As you say, I doubt this would come up much in practice anyway. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
