Event triggering is being captured incorrectly about jquery HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, that's the way DOM events work (with or without jQuery). They bubble up the DOM tree until they reach document. If you don't want them to bubble, you can call event.stopPropagation() or use jQuery's .triggerHandler() instead of .trigger().

jQuery is a relatively light wrapper around the DOM, so the jQuery docs don't try to explain the behavior of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or DOM events. They work the way they are documented to work in the browser. For the exceptions related to .triggerHandler() you can refer to the docs: https://api.jquery.com/triggerHandler/

from jquery.

Doing some other tests I discovered that this happens with any event and any element. It doesn't need to be custom events or custom elements.

Is this normal expected behavior?

@dmethvin Thank you very much for the explanation. Is this documented in jQuery anywhere? I believe that perhaps there should be examples of this in the jQuery documentation.

Can I change my trigger() to triggerHandler() without any problems, or are there more differences between the functions?

@dmethvin Thanks!
