I have a situation where I want to react to a ctrl-click on a <span> and
it works in Netscape and Firefox browsers but in IE I have a problem.
In IE I do catch the ctrl-click but IE also renders the span in inverse
video, essentially selecting the item.
Here is a short sample that demonstrates the issue:
<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Clicked(evt){
evt.cancelBubble=true;
}
</script></head>
<body>
<SPAN onClick="Clicked(event);">click me</SPAN>
</body></html>
I thought the cancelBubble would prevent the event from triggering the
selection from happening but I think that the ctrl-click selection
happens before I get control.
Is there a way to prevent the selection from being rendered on ctrl-
click while still allowing my javascript to react to the event?
browser versions used
ie 6.0.2800
firefox 0.9
netscape 7.1
