Hi Jeff, I am glad that you are taking on the task of implementing this very useful method to fill the gap until implementors are natively implementing the method. On the other hand this should really be natively implemented in all compliant viewers. I guess every implementor already has the prerequisites for this method, since they have to do hit-testing for graphical elements anyway ... so it is mainly a matter of testing not only the top elements, honoring the pointer-events attributes. So is it mainly webkit and Firefox that do not implement the methods? Are bugs filed? Andreas On Sat, November 7, 2009 3:54 am, Jeff Schiller wrote: > Another confirmation.
