Me again,
just to illustrate.. one should be able to do something like this:
anObservedExtendedDOMElement.trigger('customEventName', arg1, .... ,
argN)
each time that the event occurs in your system.
When an extended element triggers an event the (previously
registered) listeners should receive the arguments and a function
call. They should have hooked it with something like this:
anObserverExtendedDOMElement.observe(anObservedElement,
'aCustomEventName', aCustomAction)
To give us (developers) an experience of completeness using events,
aCustomAction should be able to receive the triggered arg1... argN of
the observed element
Pros: it'll allow that several interactive predefined cases to be
solved in the client side, so instantaneous responses, so better
experience of the use of the applications.
cheers,
Sebastian
PD1: it seems that all we need is to implement the #trigger function
in the extended element. What else we need?
PD2: if this is browser dependent, we can make our own event manager
only to manage the custom listening of custom events, and (another
gain) give to it an homogeneous interface, so developers can use
standard or custom events without noticing diference
