Hi, The current DOM3 Events spec <http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#glossary-target-phase> says; useCapture of type boolean If true, useCapture indicates that the user wishes to add the event listener for the capture phase only, i.e. this event listener will not be triggered during the target and bubbling phases. If false, the event listener must only be triggered during the target and bubbling phases. This apparently has come from the DOM2 Events' "A capturing EventListener will not be triggered by events dispatched directly to the EventTarget upon which it is registered.". However, none of the browsers (of Firefox 3.6, Safari 4, Chromium, Opera 10.10 and Opera 10.50) follow this. Opera used to be compliant with the spec, but they have changed their behavior to match the rest. So I think the spec has to be changed to trigger the EventListener added with useCapture = true. A.
