It looks like Mac browsers are inconsistent on this. I used this test
case:
<span ondblclick='document.getElementById("output").innerHTML +=
"dbclick.detail: " + event.detail + "<br>"'
onclick='document.getElementById("output").innerHTML
+= "click.detail: " + event.detail + "<br>"'>
double click here</span>
<div id="output"></div>
Speed-clicking the span gave these results in Safari 2.0.3:
double click here
click.detail: 1
click.detail: 2
dbclick.detail: 2
click.detail: 3
click.detail: 4
dbclick.detail: 4
click.detail: 5
click.detail: 6
dbclick.detail: 6
These in Firefox 1.5.0.1:
double click here
click.detail: 1
click.detail: 2
dbclick.detail: 2
click.detail: 3
click.detail: 4
click.detail: 5
click.detail: 6
These in Opera 9 (Opera also appears to eat every third click,
doesn't send either a click or dblclick event but does select the line):
double click here
click.detail: 1
dbclick.detail: 2
click.detail: 2
click.detail: 1
dbclick.detail: 2
click.detail: 2
click.detail: 1
dbclick.detail: 2
All browsers seem to agree that dblclick.detail should match
click.detail for the corresponsing click event, although Opera does
not appear to be following Mac platform conventions for click count,
and Firefox does not appear to be following the proposed detail % 2
== 0 rule on the Mac.

Maciej
