I believe UI (or UX ...User eXperience... as is apparently the fancy new acronym?) is in the early stages of transitioning heavily towards "multi-touch" type interfaces, the iPhone being the first widely-accepted and well-implemented example.  A number of mainstream vendors like Dell and HP are now offering very affordable full "multi-touch" touch-screen LCD monitors and integrated all-in-one PC's.   It is headed that way, no doubt in my mind. 

So, you bet, it seems very wise to begin thinking down these paths in terms of OL's functionality.

Touch interfaces (like the iPhone) generally don't have the concept of mouseover/out because there is no cursor.  Mousedown/up should be supported (please file a bug at http://jira.openlaszlo.org/) but there needs to be a third type of event (onmousestilldown) that can be used to trigger drag events.

I filed an improvement here to add/adapt a richer event set offered by touch devices including the iPhone:

Hi all,

I am developing iPhone Apps using OpenLaszlo.

I have noticed that some events are not available.
onmousedown,onmouseup, onmouseover,onmouseout, for example.
So, I can not use drag-and-drop components, like<window>  and<slider>.
And resizable views too.

The event I can use is onclick only.

Can I use onmousedown or onmouseover to make draggable views and
resizable ones on iPhone?
I am using OpenLaszlo4.7.1/dhtml
