[Xerte-dev] Re: Using Toolits in Opera

What does the onmousedown call?

One of the problems in the code is that I have to define single click
and double click myself, and I recall the FF was a lot slower. I think
somewhere in the code is a block of code which says "if IE then else"
when it comes to detecting the frequency of clicks.

The alternative is that div isn't appearing correctly on the screen
(or where you would expect it to). Perhaps give the DIV a border
element so you can see where opera thinks it is?

Mark once reported it as not working in Opera (a long, long time ago)
