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!
Rob

<head>
<title>Hover on Row Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addEventHandler(element, eventName, functionName) {
if (element.attachEvent) {
element.attachEvent(eventName, functionName);
}
}
function info(event) {
infoElement = event.srcElement;
alert (infoElement.nodeName + " contains " + infoElement.innerHTML);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
elements = document.body.getElementsByTagName("tr");
for(var index = 0; index < elements.length; index++) {
addEventHandler(elements[index], "onmouseover", info);
}
</script>

When an event is generated, it is /always/ targeted at the most deeply
nested element. So, if you rollover a cell, the cell will be the
target. To generate an event targeted at a row, the row itself (that
is, the region outside of any cells) must be the deepest element involved.
Once an event is generated, it will typically bubble-up to the root of
the document (not all events bubble), activating listeners as it goes.
[...] in Opera and IE.
In any user agent.

No.
or is this simply a box model issue [...]
It has nothing to do with the box model. That affects layout. This is
simply a standard behaviour of the event model.
[snip]
element.attachEvent(eventName, functionName);
Though the use of attachEvent does not, in itself, cause this issue
(as I said, the behaviour is standard), /not/ using it will allow you
to cope with the behaviour. You see, attachEvent is, in my opinion,
broken. Instead of setting the this operator to something sensible -
the element to which the listener is registered[1] - it is set to the
global object which is entirely useless.
If the IE event model provided a currentTarget equivalent (srcElement
is equivalent to target), the deficiencies of attachEvent could be
overlooked. However, this is not the case, so don't use it. If you
need to manage multiple listeners on the same element, either use
addEventListener or code which emulates it with the on<event>
properties. There have been several examples posted in this group's
archives.
function info(event) { infoElement = event.srcElement; alert (infoElement.nodeName + " contains " + infoElement.innerHTML); }
Once you've moved away from attachEvent, you can change the above to
function info(e) {
alert(this.nodeName + ' contains ' + this.innerHTML);
}
Good luck,
Mike
[1] As you should know, this is what happens when an event listener is
added via HTML intrinsic event attributes, on<event> properties,
and the addEventListener method. The fact that attachEvent doesn't
follow this behaviour is the reason why I think it's broken.

Can anyone point me to an example of a 'home grown' way to introduce event handling in the capturing phase as opposed to the bubbling phase for IE?
Unless you implement your own javascript version for IE, its not possible.
