My personal opinion, which I think matches PF's consensus, is that some events in DOM2 such as onmouse* are indeed device specific. There are ways of working around this - the current situation that included some non-specific events alongside some specific ones doesn't strike me as a great outcome :( There is discussion of this more and more frequently, and I believe that the Batik SVG viewer has implemented a fairly device-independent set of event triggers tied to particular user agent inputs. I hope to find time to follow this up further, but it seems never to exist. cheers Chaals On Wednesday, Feb 19, 2003, at 12:04 Australia/Melbourne, Dean Jackson wrote: > * 3.4 Use a device-independent interaction and events model / module. > Your example technique suggests using Activate rather than > Click (I assume).
