[Javascript] Object Detection using Javascript.

[Hakan M (Backbase)]

When inspecting the window-object, I found the following methods:

window.releaseEvents
window.captureEvents
window.attachEvent
window.detachEvent

and the following object:

window.Event

I would start by experimenting with window.captureEvents.

One thing I've always hated about Opera is that they are trying to be 
'IE-friendly', which in my experience mostly means that it fucks up on 
IE-proprietary code rather than reporting an error.
