I realize I'm touching on a controversial topic, but I was wondering what feedback we might get by proposing that the EventTarget interface in DOM Level 3 Events be marked up with WebIDL as follows (I don't imagine controversy on any other interface):
[NoInterfaceObject]
interface EventTarget {
void addEventListener(in DOMString type,
in EventListener listener,
in boolean useCapture);
void removeEventListener(in DOMString type,
in EventListener listener,
in boolean useCapture);
// Modified in DOM Level 3:
boolean dispatchEvent(in Event evt)
raises(EventException,
DOMException);
};
Note, this is different from http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/dom/dom2events.idl
The point of contention is whether EventTarget should be bound to an "interface object" in the ECMAScript binding or whether it participates in the mix-in algorithm, however that will end up working (not finalized in WebIDL at the moment).
For reference:
Browser this.hasOwnProperty("EventTarget")
===============================================
IE8 false
FF3.5 false (but EventTarget.prototype exists)?
Safari4 false
Opera10 false
