Diego, on IE custom events can't be cancelled. fireEvent will always fire an event that bubbles. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536423(VS.85).aspx
That's why I'm for making Element#observe handle mouseenter/leave in the core. Firing and then filtering custom events goes against the point of making this easy to use. These events should not bubble, this can't be done with custom events, therefore the observe approach is the better one. I've been saying this for some time but custom events seem to be used as an excuse not to implement this properly, like other frameworks have done. Of course it can be done with custom events but it's clearly not the best approach. Ah well, I guess this needs more time before others draw the same conclusion. -- Nick On 11 jun, 03:08, Diego Perini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am probably missing something, but... > > Why not use mouseover / mouseout on all browser and then use > "event.stopPropagation()" method or "event.cancelBubble=true" for IE ? > > Are there browsers where the bubbling phase of these events can't be > cancelled ? > > -- > Diego Perini > > On 10 Giu, 21:58, Nick Stakenburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Andrew has a script that shows how to do it with custom > > events:http://github.com/savetheclocktower/javascript-stuff/tree/master/cust... > > > It's not as convenient as real mouseenter/mouseleave behaviour, > > because these event will bubble.
