I try to trigger a click event if someone clicks on a an <a>nchor that has an <object> child:

$(function() {
    $("object").click(function() {
        alert("test");
        return false;
    });
});

The markup:

 <a>
   <object data="menu-item-2.svg" type="image/svg+xml"></object>
 </a>

I would expect that clicking on an <a> would trigger a click-event. It doesn't. Still, It would work with a mouseenter event.

How do I make it trigger a click event?
