If you read the spec, the listeners are not assigned by phases. There is just capture phase, or non-capture phase. Non-capture listeners get all target and bubble phase events at that node in the DOM. e.stopPropagation only prevents bubble listeners higher up in the DOM from getting the event assuming the event is bubbling which most are not.
To make sure that your listener is only responding to events in the target phase, you test e.eventPhase ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of dsds99 Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 12:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Debugging manual drag and drop events "Nope, that's correct behavior. There is no capture phase on the target, but then there is no bubble phase on the target either so then it should output nothing as well... ok i'm abit confused i do understand that there is the capture phase, target phase, then bubble phase but the way it works is that you can set the addEventListener to be set only in the bubble phase by default or capture phase. So, to only be at the target phase, you have to use the bubble phase and use e.stopPropagation(); So bsically the target phase is recognized as part of the bubble phase. --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nope, that's correct behavior.
