! Introduction
<<.from-version "5.1.23">>
The event catcher widget traps JavaScript events dispatched within its child content, and allows invoking a series of ActionWidgets in response to the events.
//This is an advanced widget intended for use by those familiar with HTML, CSS and JavaScript handling of DOM events.//
The event catcher widget traps DOM-initiated Javascript events dispatched within its child content, and allows invoking a series of ActionWidgets in response to those events.
In order for the events to be trapped they must:
* be of one of the types specified as a parameter to the event catcher widget.
* arise within a DOM node matching the selector specified as a parameter to the widget.
* be of one of the events specified in the event catcher widget's `events` attribute.
* arise within a DOM node specified by the widget's `selector` attribute.
* support event bubbling.
Use of the event catcher widget is beneficial when using large numbers of other trigger widgets such as the ButtonWidget is causing performance problems. The workflow it enables is akin to what is referred to as "event delegation" in JavaScript parlance.
