ISSUE-106: Consider adding mouse capture/release API
mouse capture
Consider adding mouse capture/release API
- State:
- CLOSED

- HISTORICAL: DOM3 Events [All Bugs and Issues use Bugzilla: http://tinyurl.com/Bugs-DOM3Events]

- Description:
- It's sometimes desirable to redirect all events of a certain type to a particular element (for example, when dragging a scrollbar or a shape, you may want to allow the mousemove events to all be directed to that element).
To do this, IE implements SetCapture, ReleaseCapture, and GetCapture:

Mozilla has recently added this as well:
