Hi Max, Your workaround, i.e. attaching event listener as your have described works (probably due to different event parameter name) - thanks! It is truly appreciated.
To answer your question, I can say that: "event" object is unset/screwed/mangled on IE8, IE7 and Google Chrome (5.0.375), but under FireFox (3.6.3) "event" object remains intact, i.e. this is correct behaviour. It would be a bit difficult for me to check lower versions of IE due to some limitations I have.
