modify event data during propagation

Question

Is there any way of attaching data to a jQuery event object as it propagates up the DOM?

To clarify, if you have three nested divs, each with a click event listener

Answer 1

Maybe I've misunderstood the question, but I came across this StackOverflow page whilst searching for a way to do the same thing.

I have since found that you can return the value/values that you want to pass at the end of each handler and then access them in subsequent handlers using the event.result property?
