[clipboard] Event definition
Hi Hallvord, At http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/clipops/clipops.html#clipboard-event-interface, a reference to DOM *2* Events is made; it should be updated. Also, the initClipboardEvent method should be removed in favour of a constructor, as described at http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#constructing-events. HTH Ms2ger

Well, I guess it should. On the other hand..what should it be updated to? AFAIK DOM3 Events is still a working draft (though a very mature one), and there *seems* to be/have been a bit of political bickering between DOM3 Events and a new spec called DOM Core or DOM4 which is also a working draft and one I haven't read closely enough to make any statement about maturity. AFAIK it makes no technical difference whether this spec references DOM2, DOM3 or DOM4 in this context. So, *if I don't want to be involved in politics*, can't I just reference the published DOM2 Events and be done with it? :-p Also, the initClipboardEvent method should be removed in favour of a constructor, as described at http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#constructing-events. Done in response to Anne's feedback. -- Hallvord R. M. Steen Core tester, Opera Software
Re: [clipboard] Event definition
Ms2ger, the same old issue with referencing a released spec or not... that was heavily discussed! Or am I wrong? Is there any reason that makes that sentence obsolete in DOM 2? I would have no issue that the clipboard document references both but it would become unreleasable if it had to rely on specifications that are not released. MathML for CSS had to suspend its becoming of a REC because CSS 2.1 and 3 weren't released yet... and this sounds like normal. It did not take very long in this case. I like Hallvord's response to this. paul Le 9 févr. 2012 à 13:26, Ms2ger a écrit : Hi Hallvord, At http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/clipops/clipops.html#clipboard-event-interface, a reference to DOM *2* Events is made; it should be updated.
