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

[Abre Chase]

Hello everyone!   I'm using the 2001.01.25 release...   I was running into an issue with my project where the DynAPI was always returning true on onClick events in hrefs.   I need to have <a> links that call JS functions through the onClick event, but then return false so the link is never reached.  I simply can't get around the necessity to support this feature, because of legacy data.   So I simply commented out the following line of code in dynapi.js:   if (DynAPI.document.captureMouseEvents) DynAPI.document.captureMouseEvents();   What effect might this have?  Why do we need to capture all events for the page?   Anyway, this seems to have solved my problem as all the DHTML still behaves appropriatly in NS4.5, NS6, and IE5 - and href onClicks can now return false.   I just wondered if someone could let me know why the DynAPI works in this manner.   Thanks!   - Abre
