Yes, event handlers are another way of adding behavior to a node. Note that you aren't limited to mutation events -- anything which conformed to the Event interface can be dispatched through the DOM's event system. In fact the example you use of a "Draw" event is almost certainly just such an example; DrawEvent probably shouldn't be based on MutationEvent since it doesn't represent a change made to the document's content or structure. At this time there are no Creation Events. It's an interesting thought... though I believe it could be done almost as easily by "wrappering" the DOM's existing factory methods, which might actually be a cleaner solution. If you really think Creation Events are better, I can be persuaded to add them to the Open Issues List. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
