title: Is there a jQuery EventSource?
body: <p>Server Sent Events seem like a prime candidate for a jQuery plug-in.  Page 921 of JavaScript, the Definitive Guide shows how to use EventSource.  But then page 923 says that IE uses attachEvent instead of addEventListener.</p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="https://github.com/rwldrn/jquery.eventsource/wiki" rel="noreferrer">jQuery.EventSource</a> on github, but there's no mention of attachEvent. It instead falls back to using $.ajax.</p>
  
  <p>Q: If I'm going to use the EventSource feature of JavaScript, should I use jQuery.EventSource?</p>
  
  <p>I gotta have more jQuery!</p>
