onmouseup isn't always triggered when mouse button is released

http://www.frostjedi.com/terra/scrip...onmouseup.html

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.getEl emenById("demo" ).onmousedown =
mousedown;", it works. Why would that make a difference?

Here's the code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" >
<head>
<title>onmoused own / onmouseup</title>
</head>

<body id="body">
<div style="backgrou nd: black; width: 50px; height: 50px" id="demo"></
div>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.body.o nmouseup = mouseup;
document.getEle menById("demo") .onmousedown = mousedown;

function mouseup() {
alert("test");
}

function mousedown() {}
</script>
</body>
</html>

You should use that only as a fallback for the standards compliant

document.docume ntElement.addEv entListener("mo useup", ...);

I'm trying to use the right mouse button to open a popup on a specific element. The popup is triggered by a mouseup event. However, on mousedown the standard context menu opens. To get around this, I listen to that event, too, and stop it (preventDefault, stopPropagation). That works on Konqueror (and presumably other KHTML-based browsers), but not on Firefox. The latter still opens its context menu. My search has turned up literally...

Hello, I have tried this using the MouseEnter/MouseLeave events. However these events do not really refer to the rectangular shape of the form, but the client area (form area minus children areas). This means that if the mouse is currently inside the form's client area and it enters a child, a MouseLeave event will be generated on the form. One little trick to overcome this is to do a point-in-rectangle test inside the MouseLeave...

Hi, How can I define in Firefox whether the left mouse button is pressed when I move mouse over a html element? The documentation says that "e.button == 0 for standard 'click', usually left button" http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:event.button Tracing of mouse clicks or mousedown/mouseup events looks not reliable, because mouse can be pressed elsewhere out of the html element (even outside of the browser) and then move over the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
