I have a click event on the body of my document:

$("body").on('click.findElem', function(e) {                 
            e.stopPropagation();  
            e.preventDefault();    
            self.hinter(e.target);            
            return false;
        });

It basically catches the clicked target and does something to it. However, there are some targets that already have a click event on them, and they prevent my click from being executed at all. How do I overcome that issue? I tried unbinding it, but the click doesn't even work at all to actually execute the unbinding.
