ISSUE-106 (mouse capture): Consider adding mouse capture/release API [DOM3 Events] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/106 Raised by: Doug Schepers On product: DOM3 Events It's sometimes desirable to redirect all events of a certain type to a particular element (for example, when dragging a scrollbar or a shape, you may want to allow the mousemove events to all be directed to that element).
