Cannot attach mousemove to document about ie8 HOT 9 CLOSED

is that CoffeeScript?

from ie8.

Regardless, can you please provide vanilla JS examples that doesn't work? Because events are tested and do work in IE8 .... without transpilers, of course.

This does not appear to work:

document.addEventListener("mousemove", function (event) {alert("move");});

While this does:

document.attachEvent("onmousemove", function (event) {alert("move");});

from ie8.

I'm pretty sure that code does works but I'll check again when I have some time which is probably never before the 7th. Events do work and are tested, so please try to be sure you are in a clean standard env.

I am using other event handling code with addEventListener just fine... mousemove is the only troublesome event.

Hey ... WTF (not to you, actually to me) that was indeed a very silly and concrete bug.

Thanks, I'm used to set events eventually to document.documentElement and rarely to the document itself, which is why I haven't spot this before.

Funny apparently also nobody else has spot this before ... how weird!

Please use 0.2.11 which fixes this problem, apologizes for my initial skepticism, I don;'t trust much transpiled JS when it comes to legacy support.

Hope this works and you can close this bug after checking.

Best Regards

P.S. I had time, it was an easy one to spot ... me => stupid ^_^

from ie8.

That fixed it, thanks!

On another notes, thanks a ton for IE8 and DOM4. It makes it actually possible to use modern code (and forget about having to support many methods of doing the same thing) when I have to support IE8 (game I code for embeds IE).

Just remember to test for real on real IE8 too and happy worry-free coding
