Hixie said most events are cancelable. I didn't care enough to check since I just wanted to know what the effect of cancelling would be. Looking through HTML5 for "cancelable" there are indeed quite a few events that do not bubble, but are cancelable. I haven't seen many so far for which that makes sense. I have not checked whether there might be legacy reasons for some of them. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
