Uniform Event Model - Introduction

The Uniform Event Model (UEM) is an unobtrusive implementation of the W3C DOM 2 Event specification for Internet Explorer 6.0+.

UEM will make IE capable of handling events as most other browsers like Firefox, Opera and Safari across Windows and OS X. Features include the EventListener Interface (addEventListener, removeEventListener etc.), the capturing phase for event propagation and proper Event and Event sub classes. See the full list of features.

If you are new to the differences between IE and other browsers regarding event handling go here for a brief introduction.

We are currently working on DOM 3 features most notably a proper KeyboardEvent Interface.
