! 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.
|
|
|
|
In order for the events to be trapped they must:
|
|
|
|
* be of the type specified as a parameter to the event catcher widget.
|
|
* arise within a DOM node matching the selector specified as a parameter to the widget.
|
|
|
|
Use of the event catcher widget is useful 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.
|
|
|
|
//This is an advanced widget intended to be used by those familiar with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.//
