Actually, that was the bit I forgot to say before. In fact, we decided to make it cancelable, but not bubble, since you could capture it if you want and forcing it to bubble eats run-time resources... If you think we got it badly wrong, can you please give a more detailed explanation of why? The only rationale we were offered so far was that since more or less everything bubbles, it would require special casing this in an implementation to stop it bubbling which is a minor pain. Our call was that the run-time cost was more serious. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile, Opera Software: Standards Group hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk chaals@opera.com Try Opera 9.1 http://opera.com
