Question

Answer 1

Just an update on why. I use agent ransack and if I can launch it with a double-click I get two instances of the program. I can use different search parameters on each.

Not sure where exactly your problem is, but this code works exactly as expected:

$("#container").dblclick(function() { 
  //code executed on jQuery double click rather than mouse double click
  alert('dblclick');
});
$("#container").click(function() { 
  alert('click');
  $(this).dblclick(); 
});

$("#container2").click(function() { 
  $("#container").click();
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="container">click 1</div>
<div id="container2">click 2</div>

If you click on 'click 1' - you will have the 2 alerts (the original and the dblclick).
If you click on 'click 2' - the jquery will trigger the click on the first element, which will trigger 2 alerts (the click and the dblclick).
