GlobalEventHandlers

The GlobalEventHandlers mixin describes the event handlers common to several interfaces like HTMLElement, Document, or Window. Each of these interfaces can implement more event handlers.

GlobalEventHandlers is a mixin and not an interface and no object of this type can be created.

Properties

[1] In Gecko this is implemented as onmozpointerlockchange, onmozpointerlockerror.

[2] In Blink this is implemented as onwebkitpointerlockchange, onwebkitpointerlockerror.

[3] This is implemented behind the dom.w3c_pointer_events.enabled preference, defaulting to false.

[4] This is implemented behind the dom.select_events.enabled preference, that default to false, except on Nightly.
