Summary: WebKit could benifit from a tool to observe/debug event
dispatch
Product: WebKit
Version: 420+ (nightly)
Platform: Macintosh
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P4
Component: Tools
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org

WebKit could benifit from a tool to observe/debug event dispatch
bdash and I just spent a while talking about JS/Web tools that we'd like to see
to better support web developers using Safari/WebKit. One idea which came out
of this discussion was for a tool to track javascript event dispatch.
I have had a number of cases where I've had to debug mouse-events for my
web-application in Safari and been frustrated by having to resort to gdb to do
this tracking. It would be nice if there were a way to easily see a log of all
attempted dispatch, or to have information a priori as to where a mouse event
might be captured/targeted.
Wiring this sort of tool into WebKit should be relatively straightforward. A
couple hooks into EventTargetNode::dispatchGenericEvent should do the trick.
The larger question (to me) is what would such a tool look like.
