Re: [Dynapi-Dev] events and dragevents debugging

[Doug Melvin]

I've been looking into events problems (ignoring bubbling) and found the following issues. Some of these have been reported before. Oh, I've been using a modified version of the mouseevents example html file which I'll attach to this mail. It's quite useful for debugging, if people can think of further test cases then they should add them :-) Win32 IE is my yard stick. IE behave's mostly like I'd expect, so if other browsers don't I reckon it's a bug. IE: If you enable dragging, then you cannot select form text, instead you drag the window. Are you using the IE text selection fix? Just wondering...   NS4: If you enable dragevents, click and dblclick events are not fired. Events are not picked up on the image (but they are using dynimage, so what's the difference).   I came across that too, here was my problem/fix. Problem: In NS, one could not click on the buttons at the far right of my toolbar.. (www.creative-workshop.com/demo/cwconcept.htm) Solution: in the mousedown event of the buttons I disable dragging of the toolbar and on mouseup I 'click' or perform tho code I would have put in onclick and re-enabled to drag events. i.e.     db1.>        e.setBubble(false);         DragEvent.disableDragEvents(ToolBar);     }     db1.>        e.setBubble(false);         dockClick(e);         DragEvent.enableDragEvents(ToolBar);  } Unfortunatly you then have a problem with mousedown happening, but then the mouse moving off the object before comming up and the the mouseup doesn't get fired of course.. My solution for that was simple tho.. :-)     var d1=new EventListener(DynAPI.document);     d1.>        e.setBubble(true);     .......         DragEvent.enableDragEvents(ToolBar);     }     DynAPI.document.addEventListener(d1);     NS6(using nicolajazz patch): Events are still being fired twice. When dragging is enabled you cannot select a form input to type into. NS6(using my patch): Double click events are not being fired. I added something to events.js to allow forms to be selected when dragging but the problem is probably with dragevent.js not events.js. Some food for thought, better get back to the real work now...
