Programmatically triggering events in Javascript for IE using jQuery

Question

When an Event is triggered by a user in IE, it is set to the window.event object. The only way to see what triggered the event is by accessing the window.

Answer 1

I solved the issue with a patch:

    window.ValidatorHookupEvent = function(control, eventType, body) {
        $(control).bind(eventType.slice(2), new Function("event", body));
    };

Update: I've submitted the issue to MS (link).
