This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Apparently all browsers support this as of IE9 testing: IE8: n/a Firefox: pass Chrome: pass Safari: pass Opera: pass Note, the current DOM L3 Events spec mentions the following (but omits "Events" as a valid compatibility string): *For backward compatibility reason, "UIEvents", "MouseEvents", "MutationEvents", and "HTMLEvents" feature names are valid values for the parameter eventInterface and represent respectively the interfaces UIEvent, MouseEvent, MutationEvent, and Event, and the characters 'a'..'z' are considered equivalent to the characters 'A'..'Z'. The request is to add a mapping for the string "Events" to the Event interface for interop purposes.
Interesting! Fixed in DOM: https://bitbucket.org/ms2ger/dom-core/changeset/edc7186a302a
Added a test: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps/rev/486e28ffa34a Interestingly, webkit only supports the title-case versions.
Updated the backward compatibility list in DOM3 Events as well. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html?rev=1.217#interface-DocumentEvent
As the opener, I'm satisfied with this change :)
