Re: event.target referencing element not attached to the DOM?

Thanks a lot, Bobby. That might very well be it since the case I'm struggling with is an extension to the Selenium IDE (recording interactions on webpages) combined with a Vaadin/GWT-based application, where the recorded element is sent to the GWT app, which in turn checks the equality.

I gather that the cross-compartment-wrappers should work transparently in cases like these? Or can I force it / explicitly create a cross-compartment-wrapper?

Off to create the reduced test case.
