59081 - RFE - trying to retrieve an scope of JS object from DOM 2 event.

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[/\/\arcio Galli]

Looking for input and comments, and if applicable a future enhancement.

The above code, is a basic JS code that creates a red window. This red window is
a DIV that is a visual representation of a JS window object.

Start function creates an instance of the window and then call the register
method. The point is:

**
Register method adds an event listener (for mousedown) trying to make the mouse
down operation calling a method inside the scope of the window object. For
example, trying to close that window (the JS object must be notified).

Note that the register method does:

divelement.addEventListener("mousedown",this.close,true);

---
When the user click mouse down, close method is correctly called. But when I
evaluate the this (inside this.close scope), this is a reference for the DIV
element, not the object.

Interesting.  I'll look at it later if I can.


This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer
