The mousedown event on a map never fires. I've tried both binding with
GEvent.addListener:
GEvent.addListener( map, "mousedown", function(){ alert('please
work.'); });
and GEvent.addDomListener:
GEvent.addDomListener( map.getContainer(), "mousedown", function()
{ alert('no dice.'); });
This is not a new problem:

See Pman's 2007 example link for the same problem:
"Here's the link. I put two maps in there. One for Mouse Up and one
for
Mouse Down event. Mouse Up works fine. In both maps, when the event
fires, the word "hello " should appear at the top of the page to show
that the event took place. As I mentioned, the Mouse Down event
doesn't work on the map. But if you test it on any control on the
mouse down test map, then it works, but on the map body, it doesn't
do
anything. any ideas??"

The event capturing div overlay solution used in DragZoom will not
work for me. I need to only capture mousedown events on the map
surface itself, and leave access to controls unaffected.
As a side note, mouseup, mousemove, etc events work fine.
Thanks,
Shane
