Re: [Dynapi-Help] dynapi.js and DynAPI.document.captureMouseEvents and href onClicks...

[Michael Pemberton]

the latest version (due to be released any day now) allows for selective event capturing. if you do not require mouse events, there is no problem.  if you don't even use the event listeners, it might be possible to exclude the events.js file from your include section. the events code for the API is actually a series of code hacks that allow us to takeover the processes normally handled by the browser.  since each browser has a different method of processing, it is required that we do this to make them all behave in the same fashion. the next release has a more stable events structure and will hopefully avoid such problems as you have described.
