Event capturing/bubbling problem

Hi,

I ran out of ideas how to solve this problem, maybe someone of you
will help me.. Situation goes like this: I have two elements on site
which are siblings, both of them have "onclick" event. On of these
elements has "position: absolute" and is covering the second element.
What I want to achieve, is when user clicks on the absolute positioned
element, "onclick" event fires for both elements. I tried just
everything that camed to my mind, but wihtout result. Anyone got an
idea how to achieve this? Or is it just impossible to make?

Thanks for any help,
Piotr.

Why don't you just call the onclick handler for the overlapped element
from the positioned element's onclick handler?

I don't understand what you are trying to make.

Not impossible, as David has suggested. Events bubble up or capture
down the DOM tree, the siblings of the element that starts the event
(or that are higher up the DOM tree) will never be involved in either
sequence. At least one major browser doesn't support the capture
phase anyway.

Well, it was just an example, that absolute positioned element won't
always entirely cover the second element. What I'm making is
drag'n'drop feature with containers where you can drop dragged
elements. Currently I'm checking if element is dragged above container
at global onmousemove event (by checking if mouse position is in
container boundaries), but it isn't too efficient. It would be much
faster and more accurate if mouse events would fire also for elements
under the dragged element.

Hi all, I have a page with many different elements: <a href="...."> ... </a>, listboxes, radiobuttons, etc. Can I use javascript to prevent the user from interacting with the page?

I1. notice that if you have an onclick event for both the document and for a particular element, the onclick for the element is called first and then it bubbles up to the one for the document. Is it possible to have an onclick event that is at the document level that is called first? I would like to intercept it there and return false so that it doesn't bubble down to the element level. 2.

Hi All! In the code below, I want to add a handler to a *row* (eventually so I can change the style of a row), but the event is being generated by the TD's it seems - in Opera and IE. Is there another way to assign a handler, making sure the event will come from the row and not a TD, or is this simply a box model issue I cannot work around by assigning new handlers? Any advice appreciated!

Apparently there is a textarea onscroll event bubbling bug in Firefox and Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229089 I'm trying to check for this bug with the following script and it *seems* to work. In IE it reports "bubbling" and in Firefox "not bubbling" but I really have no direct way to confirm the Firefox results until the bubbling bug is fixed.
