 Ugh, that doesn't work for me - I've tried it in latest Firefox, Chrome
 and Opera and nothing shows up in the console log. It only works if I
 change it to trigger('unload') in thickbox.js and use live() to bind it.
 I've used a fresh WP3.3-beta4 install, no WP plugins, no browser plugins.
 And isn't .unload() just an alias of bind("unload")? How can it then be
 bound to an element that's not been created yet? :|

 $("#TB_window").triggerHandler("unload") was registered with
 window.unload, now it's not :/

 > Don't think so. The `unload` event only fires on `window`. The bug in
 Thickbox was that it used to fire `unload` on a div which then propagated
 to `window` and tricked all handlers on `jQuery(window).unload()` into
 running despite that the window didn't unload.

 Sorry about that, you're right, that worked on 3.2.1, not on 3.3.

 it's possible to both keep full back-compat and avoid triggering
 window.unload at the same time. Custom event would work but will require
 all plugins that use it to be updated.

 Thanks :)
