Change and Focus event handlers do not bind in IE7

Description

I noticed that binding a .change(fn) or a .focus(fn) to an array returned by .each in IE7 will give the warning that the "Object doesn't support this property or method." I have tested it only in Firefox, where it works fine, and IE7.

Enclosing a sample page I created to demonstrate this problem.

			alert("I am a click event. I work in IE7");
        })
    );
    jQuery("#dd, #mm, #yyyy").each(jQuery(this).change(function(){
			alert("I am a change event. I don't work in IE7");
        })
    );
    jQuery("#dd, #mm, #yyyy").each(jQuery(this).change(function(){
			alert("I am a focus event. I don't work in IE7, either");
        })
    );
});

Your code is wrong, try: 

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    jQuery("#dd, #mm, #yyyy").click(function(){
	alert("I am a click event. I work in IE7");
    });
    jQuery("#dd, #mm, #yyyy").change(function(){
	alert("I am a change event. I don't work in IE7");
    });
    jQuery("#dd, #mm, #yyyy").focus(function(){
	alert("I am a focus event. I don't work in IE7, either");
    });
});

Check the docs for better understanding. The click was accidentally working because the click event bubbles.
