If Event.bubbles is false, only the Capture, At-Target, and Default phases of event distribution are performed. If true, bubbling distribution is performed as well, between At-Target and Default. Event _listeners_ are explicitly registered either as capturing (invoked only during the Capture phase) or non-capturing (At-Target and Bubbling phases). A single listener may be registered both ways, if desired. At this time there is no independent ability to suppress the Capture or At-Target phases. Default can be suppressed by invoking Event.preventDefault, but I believe that has to be done from a handler since it gets reset each time the event is dispatched. If you've got a use case for making this more flexible, please submit it for consideration in future revisions of DOM Events. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
