Yep, I know that. The point is that too often we take ideas for granted, and the statement that suggested that such a significant percentage of JS enabled browsers will be using a pointing device is patently false. Even "most" can be misleading - "many" is probably most accurate, if still inconclusively vague. As well, I know many, many power-users who rarely use their mouse, preferring keyboard navigation, so I'm not sure how there can be any correlation between JavaScript and a mouse/pointing device anyway. > > btw it seems that there are quite a few people out there who browse > on their phones but do not often browse on a PC... > so I don't think we can expect them all to be familiar with many of > the conventions we might take for granted! Exactly, and I've yet to encounter a cell phone with a mouse attached <grin>. Cheers!
