As such, this attribute cannot be used by any >event that inherits from MouseEvent. It depends on the event type what context information is made available through the event object; the SVG Tiny 1.2 draft does not require imple- mentations in any way to make available information about mouse presses and releases available through SVGMousewheel event objects, especially not through UIEvent.detail. In terms of the DOM Event model, the .detail attribute is not in use for such event objects. The introduction of the .wheelDelta attribute is, therefore, completely unnecessary. If you think this is somehow unclear from the DOM Level 3 Events draft, please make your case on the public-webapi mailing list; I can then see how to make this yet more obvious in the document; though note that the text you cite is no longer part of the DOM Events specification. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
