onclick gets fired even when double clicked

[spinybabler]

Hi,

Here is my problem: I have a image map. When i click an area on the
image map, the area is to be highlighted. This highlighting i achieve
by drawing a div over the image area. I have both click and double
click events defined for an image area. But when i double click on
the
area, first onclick gets called which results in a div layer drawn
above the image area and thus double click event never gets called.
Is
there any workaround to fix this?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

This should not happen. Maybe you are not double-clicking quickly enough?

While you could draw the `div' element onmouseover and use its 'click' and
(proprietary) `dblclick' events, or you could use event delegation, this
does not avoid the accessibility issue. Although slower, and harder to
maintain, you should probably exchange the whole image on `click' instead of
drawing the `div'.
