However, all attributes which are legacy should be able to be initialized at constructing events. # UI Events still have "char", so, I think that UI Events's definition is older than D3E's. 95655 1 masayuki 2013-11-01 07:27:19 +0000 NOTE: If this is a bug of D3E, they should be dropped from next WD. 95658 2 masayuki 2013-11-01 08:46:24 +0000 Random thought: If .keyCode/.charCode/.which are not initialized from KeyboardEvent constructor, web apps which handle the legacy attributes need to initialize them with initKey(board)Event which are different on each browser. So, ignoring them from initialization list might make creating automated tests for such web apps harder. If they are not initialized from KeyboardEvent constructor, web apps also need to call initKey(board)Event() after that. It sounds the code is redundant. 99884 3 masayuki 2014-02-06 09:36:59 +0000 -> D3E since the constructor is moved to D3E from UI Events. 103519 4 garykac 2014-04-08 00:31:12 +0000 This information has been added to Appendix B - "Legacy Key Attributes" next to where charCode, keyCode and which are added to the KeyboardEvent.
