IE11 added dummy captureEvents/releaseEvents, but did not add routeEvent. Chrome didn't support routeEvent from the start. 91476 2 ian 2013-07-31 21:24:15 +0000 Should probably keep this closer to the actual DOM Events methods. 91487 3 bugs 2013-07-31 22:30:10 +0000 Ah, routeEvent isn't needed. This has nothing to do with event handling. captureEvents/releaseEvents are just dummy methods. Netscape 4 had some implemention. The methods should be added to (HTML)Document and window, so I think HTML spec is the natural place. 91515 4 ian 2013-08-01 17:27:33 +0000 Ok, can you elaborate on precisely what methods you want added? I need the interfaces they're on, the method names, their return values, their signatures, and what IDL attributes they should have. 91586 5 VYV03354 2013-08-04 03:12:15 +0000 Here is my proposal: [NoInterfaceObject] interface EventTargetObsolete { // dummy no-op methods for lagacy compatibility void captureEvents(long eventFlags); void releaseEvents(long eventFlags); }; Window implements EventTargetObsolete; HTMLDocument implements EventTargetObsolete; 91654 6 ian 2013-08-05 18:06:15 +0000 Oh, it's on Window _and_ Document, interesting. Ok. Thanks. Done. 91655 7 contributor 2013-08-05 18:06:48 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8127. Check-in comment: Add some obsolete methods that don't do anything but are needed for compat. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=8126&to=8127
