If I perform a mousedown within a document, move the mouse outside the
browser window, and then release the mouse button, the document.onmous eup
event does not fire. Is there any way to detect a mouseup event outside the
document?
Also, how can I get the relative coordinates of the cursor while it is
outside the browser?
Thank you.

It would be more correct to say that on the web, it does not work with all
browsers, but most likely does work for the majority of users. Also, it
appears to degrade gracefully (not causing any problems in browsers where it
doesn't work) which is exactly what we'd want.
When I tested it in Mozilla, it half worked. It let me drag it down, and
then when I released the mouse (expecting it to stop scrolling), it
continued to try to move the cat downwards. Even when I went to the top
of the document and clicked on it, it continued to try to scroll the cat
downwards. Not what I would consider "degrading gracefully".

I am a complete Javscript newbie trying to produce a user interface
similar to Google Maps -- the user should be able to click anywhere on
the map and drag it in any direction.
The Javascript works OK when the map is only dragged a few pixels. If
the map is dragged any significant distance, however, the cursor
changes to a document-like icon (in Firefox 1.5) or a circle with a
line through it (in IE 5) and no onMouseUp event is fired on...

Shouldn't it be considered as a trademark violation of the relevant

probably will have some serious legal problems. "Mozilla" partially

Hello,
I'm trying to experiment with some javascript to do some custom
dragdrop handling. I wish to use the onMouseDown event to trigger the
start of my drag, and onMouseup for a potentential drop. I hope to
turn on the onmouseup only in onmousedown. And eventually go one step
further and incorporate onmousemove for a true drag workflow.
I'm running into a problem however, where after mousedown, mouseup will
not fire when I release...

I'm trying to print some text in a very specific position on a page, so
that it will show through the window of an envelope when folded.
This is easy to do, as long as the browser's print margins are set to 0,
or I subtract the width of the margins from the position of the text.
My question is: is there a technique for detecting browser print
margins? It'd be nice not to have to warn users to set them to
something specific.

In Firefox, if I click in the black box and then release, I get a
popup. If I click, drag the cursor, and then release, I don't.
Similarly, if I click and then release outside of the black box, I
don't get a popup, and I don't understand why.
If I comment out "document.getElemenById("demo").onmousedown =
mousedown;", it works. Why would that make a difference?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
