Hi Everybody,

My name is Wellington and I'm from Brazil. I'm working is a GNU open source
GIS framework for the UN. Now, the framework and all applications we've
built with it work quite nicely with IEx. It even work quite nicely with
Netscape Navigator, IF we choose the IEx layout engine. However, for my
deepest disappointment, whenever we use GECKO layout, it reverse the actions
of the mouse buttons, be it in Firefox, Netscape or Mozilla (hence my
suspect). The Javascript functionality behind those actions remain working
fine, and it was updated to cope with the latest DOM (that's why I'm almost
ruling out JS). But the mistery lies in the reversal of the mouse buttons.

Specifically, there's a map and we mark a region of the map for zooming. So
it's a mousedown, followed by mouse move, then mouseup. If we use the left
button for that (the standard action), it works nicely under the above
conditions. Under Gecko, once I try to MOVE the mouse, the forbidden cursor
appears and the mouse movement is lost. However, if I use the right button,
it works fine.
There's lots of Javascript involved, so I didn't want to attach something
before having any clue about where the cause could lie.

Any clues? Can it be related to JS, CSS, or DOM?

After posting this problem to the Firefox support list, it was suggested
that the problem could be being caused by an incorrect interpretation of the
event.button attribute of the event. I scanned the code and all references
to event.button are correct. ny clues?? Is there a way to know if I'm using
Gecko or not from inside a Javascript scriptlet?

Nice to be part of the list.

Thanks,
Wellington
