[webkit-help] handleMousePressEvent always returns FALSE

[Luka Napotnik]

Hello.

Thanks for the answer. The code is a bit complicated to create a
simple test case so I'll try to describe as good as possible.

I added a webkit_web_view_press_xy() function to the Gtk+ WebView API
that accepts X,Y coordinates and calls the mentioned functions.

After a few tests I noticed that mouse clicks (OnClick event) on DIV
elements are not processed. If I have a DIV element with, say an image
and I set the DIV OnClick event it will process the click only if I
click on the image inside the DIV. But clicking on the DIV itself will
ignore the click. If I want to create an action when clicking on the
DIV I have to use OnMouseDown.

Any ideas why only mousedown events are working for DIV?

Greets,
Luka
