Thanks for your reply. That is one of the first things I tried. But it doesn't
work. Here is my example that tries to stop the events:

I attach the event handlers to the div that encloses the item in the tree and
attempt to stop the event. My event handlers are never even getting called...
but they do get called if I don't create the tree.

I thought about your second approach as well, but it's much more of a pain to
implement, and I wanted to avoid that if at all possible.
