As I've posted in a later message, IE doesn't bubble the onchange event and it only has it for INPUT type="text", SELECT and TEXTAREA. I don't care about browsers that are not IE of Firefox. They aren't significative -- and are extremely rare, when used... -- inside the population I am analyzing. > An alternative event type seems to be "onblur" -- you could check the result > of a change on a form element when the user moves to a different form > element, but this would trigger even if the form element hasn't changed. This was my previous implementation. But I'll have to connect 500+ elements sometimes. The average will be from 100 to 200 elements, but sometimes I might get "some" more. This approach was to fix a problem that I had with MochiKit with that many bindings... The script to generate the table + the bindings was taking too long to complete and then the user was prompted with a 'continue or abort' dialog. This can't happen. > It seems, to get exactly what you want, you'll have to trap all relevant key > and mouse events in the parent node, and use information about which node > caused the event to decide how to handle it. I am more concerned with when some input fields are left, so that I can update some calculations. This might be with a mouse click or just a tab press... :-( -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MochiKit" group.
