I take some of what I said back.
It appears that most of the DOM2 Events noted below are available also
from web contents. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113/events.html#Events-MutationEvent
for the spec.
The following event handlers are only available from XUL:
*******************************************************************
onpopupshowing, onpopupshown, onpopuphiding, opopuphidden, onclose,
oncommand, onbroadcast, oncommandupdate.
The following event handlers are available from everywhere AND are
implemented:
*******************************************************************
ondblclick, oninput, onoverflow, onunderflow, onoverflowchanged,
ondragenter, ondragover, ondragexit, ondragdrop, ondraggesture,
onDOMNodeInserted, onDOMNodeRemoved, onDOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument,
onDOMNodeRemovedFromDocument, onDOMAttrModified, onDOMCharacterDataModified.
The following event handlers are available from everywhere AND are NOT
implemented:
*******************************************************************
onDOMSubtreeModified (bug 74218), onDOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument (bug
74219), onDOMNodeRemovedFromDocument (bug 74220)
