Well, this behavior is pretty much limited to HTML onfoo="" attributes, you don't have it for SVG onfoo="" attributes in most implementations, or addEventListener listeners, or <script> listeners, ... and since you would ultimiately have to change handleEvent's signature, I don't think that is a good idea. Note that this isn't as simple as if the return value is false: preventDefault; what you do depends on the event type. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
