The value of the Event.target MUST be set to the event target (normally, the currently focused element), and the event MUST simulate a left click (i.e., the MouseEvent.button attribute value MUST be 0, and the MouseEvent.buttons attribute value MUST be 1). Other context information of such a simulated click event is implementation dependent, but for historical purposes, the interface for the click event MUST be the MouseEvent interface, regardless of the actual device used to activate the element. Preventing the default action of the activation trigger, such as with the Event.preventDefault(), MUST stop the initiation of the activation behavior." This isn't clear as to what we're supposed to do with the original event. For example, if the user hits enter on a form control, should we also dispatch keyboard events for the enter key, or only a mouse click event? 114999 1 annevk 2014-11-17 13:05:12 +0000 Since it's triggered as the default action of the trigger (which is kind of bogus phrasing), the original event is assumed to be dispatched as well. But currently the way this text is written is indeed rather messy. 115000 2 manishearth 2014-11-17 13:07:29 +0000 If so, is there any order to it? A synthetic click consists of the following: - Pre activation dispatch - Click dispatch - Post activation dispatch The key event it originated from also has keyup/keydown/keypress. How do these interleave? 118763 3 art.barstow 2015-03-21 15:12:07 +0000 Bulk move of all D3E bugs to the UI Events component. 123569 4 garykac 2015-10-07 04:25:41 +0000 Now tracking as: https://github.com/w3c/uievents/issues/34
