168 <code>this.getBubbleTarget()</code> if present. There is no implementation in the Observable base class.</p>\r
169 <p>This is commonly used by Ext.Components to bubble events to owner Containers. See <a href="output/Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget.html" ext:cls="Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget">Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget</a>. The default\r
170 implementation in Ext.Component returns the Component's immediate owner. But if a known target is required, this can be overridden to\r
171 access the required target more quickly.</p>\r
172 <p>Example:</p><pre><code>Ext.override(Ext.form.Field, {\r
173 <i>//  Add functionality to Field<em>'s initComponent to enable the change event to bubble\r</i>
174     initComponent: Ext.form.Field.prototype.initComponent.createSequence(<b>function</b>() {\r
175         this.enableBubble('</em>change<em>');\r
176     }),\r
177 \r
178 <i>//  We know that we want Field'</em>s events to bubble directly to the FormPanel.\r</i>
