So events are driving me nuts. Normalization is difficult because
some browsers get their backs up when you mess with something like
event.button, or event.timeStamp. The Level 2 DOM spec is
incomplete and in some cases wrong-headed (event.button, for
instance). Mozilla still has some NN4 artifacts, and there are some
things in IE that make sense and are useful. Anyway, all of this
makes it impossible to get any UI programming done.
For MochiKit, I suggest we don't bother normalizing the original
event object, but instead return a MochiKit.Event object with a
consistent set of properties no matter which browser it was
executed on. A key event might look like this:
It doesn't matter to me much either way, as long as there's a way to
get at the original object if you actually need a reference to it.
