    <p>I am assigning an event handler function to an element through the native browser onclick property:</p> <pre><code>document.getElementById('elmtid').onclick = function(event) { anotherFunction(event) }; </code></pre> <p>When I'm in <code>anotherFunction(event)</code>, I want to be able to use the event object like I would with the event object you get in jQuery through the <code>.on()</code> method. I want to do this because the jQuery event object has properties and methods such as <code>.pageX</code>, <code>.pageY</code> and <code>.stopPropagation()</code> that work across all browsers.</p> <p>So my question is, after I've passed in the native browser event object into <code>anotherFunction()</code>, how can I turn it into a jQuery event? I tried <code>$(event)</code>, but it didn't work.</p> <p>The obvious question here is: why don't you just use jQuery <code>.on</code>, <code>.bind</code>, <code>.click</code> etc to assign your event handling functions? The answer: I'm building a page that has a huge table with lots of clickable things on it. Unfortunately this project requires that the page MUST render quickly in IE6 and IE7. Using <code>.on</code> et al in IE6 and IE7 creates DOM leaks and eats up memory very quickly (test for yourself with Drip: <a href="http://outofhanwell.com/ieleak/index.php?title=Main_Page" rel="noreferrer">http://outofhanwell.com/ieleak/index.php?title=Main_Page</a>). Setting onclick behavior via <code>.onclick</code> is the only option I have to render quickly in IE6 and IE7.</p>

    1. CONot putting this as an answer, because it's just an idea - not an idea I *like*. You could do `$.event.fix(event)` - which is what jQuery does internally. The keyword being "internally", meaning you shouldn't assume it will still work the same way in the next version of jQuery.

    2. COTry `new jQuery.Event(nativeEvent)`. I don't know if it will work. requires 1.6 or later.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
