I agree. I actually want XHR to be an EventTarget as well because it
makes sense, but the only problem is that there's no implementation for
that...
It's an EventTarget in Gecko.
Could you please point out the bug in my testcase:
http://xmlhttprequest.testsuite.org/dump/001.htm
... I actually thought there was no implementation where this was this
case. (I'm testing in Firefox 1.5.x though, which may be a/the problem.)
There's also the issue of what you pass as the Event object to
handleEvent.
I notice that Mozilla recently made a decision wrt this
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198595).
Yeah, there should be an open issue on that. I'd like `this` to return
the XMLHttpRequest object. Opera does that. Internet Explorer and
Safari return the Window object. Mozilla returns the Function object
you passed to onreadystatechange...
Note that the behavior of |this| in this function is somewhat
independent of whether we're looking at an EventListener.
Ok.
Also note that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198595 in
fact changes the |this| in Gecko to be the XMLHttpRequest object.
Nice!
