The Event Layer¶
The class qx.event.Manager provides a per-document wrapper for cross-browser DOM event handling. The implementation of the event layer is inside the qx.event namespace.
The following features work in all supported browsers:
- Canceling events:
stopPropagation()
- Skipping the browser's default behavior:
preventDefault()
- Unified event objects matching the W3C DOM 2 event interface
- Cross-browser event bubbling and capturing phase, even in Internet Explorer
- Pointer event capturing
- Unified key events. For a full list of available key identifiers see the getKeyIdentifier() method documentation of the
qx.event.type.KeySequence
class. - Unified pointer events
