Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 Replying to [comment:2 azaozz]:
 > We are (should be) using `return false` to do both which is usually the
 case. Note that this doesn't stop the 'immediate propagation', i.e. if
 there are several 'click' handlers on the same element they all fire.

 Yes, if my code does `$('#foo').click( ... )` it will work, but the
 `return false` blocks `$('#foo').live('click', ... )` from working (i.e.
 attaching the click event to subsequently added items).

 I ended up having to use `$('#foo').live('mouseover', ...)` to hack around
 it.
