[thelist] Event capturing and bubbling

Yes, of course. I've used this myself so I should have remembered. It will
definitely have to go into my article.

So let me rephrase my question: Does anyone know any example of a script
where an event bubbles up and is handled by two or more HTML elements? So
user clicks on DIV, onClick of DIV is executed, event bubbles up and onClick
of document is executed.

Your example would work in all browsers. If onMouseMove is only defined for
the entire document the different event orders don't really matter. But I
see your point.

Thanks,
