Hi Gene, Still a mystery. I did find an interesting site with a wealth of general info about the differences between FF and IE in event handling, and they have a javascript package called "Unified Event Model" which attempts some workarounds to make IE event handling much more Firefox-like, which in turn is much more W3C-like. That site is:
http://www.jslab.dk/projects.php However, I don't know how well qooxdoo would interact with UEM, as well as how to automagically bring it in via fooling with generate.py, maybe. Also, not sure if UEM even handles this particular event properly. That said, I second the idea of having more comprehensive doc around some of the more complex areas, such as events. I like your "concise to the point..." statement. Some real-life examples, even lifted from the test suite, would go a long way toward making this stuff more understandable.
