 ## What handlers can be .trigger()'d?
 
-jQuery's event handling system is a layer on top of native browser events. When an event handler is added using
-`.on( "click", function() {...} )`, it can be triggered using jQuery's `.trigger( "click" )` because jQuery stores a
-reference to that handler when it is originally added. Additionally, it will trigger the JavaScript inside the
-`onclick` attribute. The `.trigger()` function cannot be used to mimic native browser events, such as
-clicking on a file input box or an anchor tag. This is because, there is no event handler attached using jQuery's
-event system that corresponds to these events.

 ## How can I mimic a native browser event, if not `.trigger()`?
 
-In order to trigger a native browser event, you have to use [document.createEventObject](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms536390%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) for < IE9 and  [document.createEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.createEvent) for all other browsers.
-Using these two APIs, you can programmatically create an event that behaves exactly as if someone has actually clicked on a file input box. The default action will happen, and the browse file dialog will display.

 The jQuery UI Team created [jquery.simulate.js](https://github.com/eduardolundgren/jquery-simulate/blob/master/jquery.simulate.js) in order to simplify triggering a native browser event for use in their automated testing. Its usage is modeled after jQuery's trigger.

 ## Don't use `.trigger()` simply to execute specific functions
 
-While this method has its uses, it should not be used simply to call a function that was bound as a click
-handler. Instead, you should store the function you want to call in a
-variable, and pass the variable name when you do your binding. Then, you can
-call the function itself whenever you want, without the need for
-`.trigger()`.
