We have seen some event driven controls in CSS so far (specifically, the :active, :hover and :focus Pseudo-classes), but the HTML event model goes far beyond this. It would be nice to have some more formatting language independent event-driven addressing in CSS. A good pool to start from could be the 10 basic events in HTML 4: Click, double click, mouse down, mouse up, mouse move, mouse over, mouse out, key press, key down, key up Click and mouse down are covered by :active, and mouse over is covered by :hover. Basically, the gist is: duplication of basic event handling from HTML has already happened in CSS, and it seems like a Good Idea (especially with XML uses of CSS.) Why not extend this? Could other events work well as Pseudo-classes? Something to consider: The current event-driven Pseudo-classes in CSS are basically meant for screen-based media. Could there be some other obvious events in other media to account for? (just an idea to spur discussion.) -Brian
