           Summary: setCapture/releaseCapture/onlosecapture
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ben at chromium.org


It'd be useful for a JavaScript framework I'm developing if WebKit would
implement the IE-specific setCapture/releaseCapture functions and the
"losecapture" event.

These functions basically route all subsequent mouse events to an object until
capture is lost. It is a fairly standard part of an OS UI toolkit, I believe
the IE implementation is intended to clone the Windows API
SetCapture/ReleaseCapture methods. Gtk has a similar concept called "grab".

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536742(VS.85).aspx for more
information.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, I couldn't find anything in the
bug system.
