This is a bit confusing. When talking about capture according to the W3C DOM2 Events capture means the way the event propagates through the DOM content model.
When talking about it according to the way MS uses it in IE using setCapture, releasCapture and onlosecapture it is a way of tracking mouse events. Once setCapture is called on an element all mouse events are dispatched from that element. This allows you to track mouse movement over iframes, objects and even outside the browser window. The question still remains (and I'd like an answer to it as well). How do I track mousemove events (for example) when the mouse pointer is over an iframe/object or outside the browser window. This is needed when doing drag and drop. erik "dwx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message aksa1r$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:aksa1r$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-EventTarget-addEv entListener
