The XML Events module defined in this specification provides XML languages with the ability to uniformly integrate event listeners and associated event handlers with Document Object Model (DOM)
Level 2 event interfaces [DOM2EVENTS]. The result is to provide an interoperable way of associating behaviors with document-level markup.
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of
this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
This is the Proposed Recommendation of "XML Events". This document is based on the feedback from implementers on the XML Events Candidate Recommendation dated 7 February 2003, and the HTML
Working Group (Member only) believes that the specification is now stable and ready for the Advisory Committee review. A test
suite for XML Events has been developed as part of a public XForms 1.0 Test Suite, along with an implementation report.
W3C Advisory Committee Representatives are invited to send formal review comments by following the instructions in the Call for Review. Through a form available from the Call for Review, Advisory
Committee representatives should send comments to the Team-only list html-review@w3.org until 2 September 2003, 11pm EDT. Through the form, Advisory Committee
representatives may also make their comments visible to the Membership (on w3c-ac-forum@w3.org for discussion or
w3c-archive@w3.org).
In addition to submitting them through the online review form, Advisory Committee representatives should send technical issues to the public mailing list
www-html-editor@w3.org (archive). Alternatively, Advisory Committee representatives also have the option (through the online
review form) of asking the HTML Working Group Team Contact to forward their technical issues without attribution to the appropriate Working Group mailing list. The public is invited to send comments
about this document directly to www-html-editor@w3.org. It is inappropriate to send discussion email to this address. Public discussion may take place on
www-html@w3.org (archive).
This document has been produced by the W3C HTML Working Group (members
only) as part of the HTML Activity. The goals of the HTML Working Group are discussed in the
HTML Working Group charter. Patent disclosures relevant to this specification can be found on the Working Group's patent
disclosure page.
Publication as a Proposed Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is
inappropriate to cite this document as other than "work in progress."
This section is informative.
An event is the representation of some asynchronous occurrence (such as a mouse click on the presentation of the element, or an arithmetical error in the value of an attribute of the
element, or any of unthinkably many other possibilities) that gets associated with an element (targeted at it) in an XML document.
In the DOM model of events [DOM2EVENTS], the general behavior is that when an event occurs it is dispatched by passing it down the document tree
in a phase called capture to the element where the event occurred (called its target), where it then may be passed back up the tree again in the phase called bubbling. In
general an event can be responded to at any element in the path (an observer) in either phase by causing an action, and/or by stopping the event, and/or by cancelling the default action for
the event. The following diagram illustrates this:
Event flow in DOM2: an event targeted at an element (marked 'target') in the tree passes down the tree from the root to the target in the phase called 'capture'. If the event type allows it, the
event then travels back up the tree by the same route in a phase called 'bubbling'. Any node in the route, including the root node and the target, may be an 'observer': that is to say, a handler may
be attached to it that is activated when the event passes through in either phase. A handler can only listen for one phase. To listen for both you have to attach two handlers.
An action is some way of responding to an event; a handler is some specification for such an action, for instance using scripting or some other method. A listener is a
binding of such a handler to an event targeting some element in a document.
HTML [HTML4] binds events to an element by encoding the event name in an attribute name, such that the value of the attribute is the action for that event at
that element. This method has two main disadvantages: firstly it hardwires the events into the language, so that to add a new event, you have to make a change to the language, and secondly it forces
you to mix the content of the document with the specifications of the scripting and event handling, rather than allowing you to separate them out. SVG [SVG] uses a
similar method.
The process of defining a new version of HTML identified the need for an extensible event specification method. The design requirements were the following:
- Syntactically expose the DOM event model to an XML document [XML].
- Provide for new event types without requiring modification to the DOM or the DTD.
- Allow for integration with other XML languages.
The DOM specifies an event model that provides the following features:
- A generic event system,
- Means for registering event listeners and handlers,
- Means for routing events through a tree structure,
- Access to context information for each event, and
- A definition of event flow, as sketched above.
Element listener and its attributes defined in this specification is the method of binding a DOM level 2 event at an element to an event handler and encapsulates various aspects of
the DOM level 2 event interface, thereby providing markup-level specification of the actions to be taken during the various phases of event propagation.
This document neither specifies particular events, nor mandates any particular methods of specifying actions. These definitions are left to any markup language using the facilities described
here.
This section is normative.
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
XML Events is not a stand-alone document type. It is intended to be integrated into other host languages such as XHTML. A conforming XML Events document is a document that requires only the
facilities described as mandatory in this specification and the facilities described as mandatory in its host language. Such a document must meet all the following criteria:
-
The document must conform to the constraints expressed in Appendix B - Schema Implementation or Appendix A - DTD
Implementation, combined with the constraints expressed in its host language implementation.
-
The document must contain an xmlns declaration for the XML Events namespace [XMLNAMES]. The namespace for XML Events is defined to be
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events. An example start tag of a root element might look like:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" >
When XML Events are included in a host language, all of the facilities required in this specification must be included in the host language. In addition, the elements and attributes defined in
this specification must be included in the content model of the host language.
A conforming user agent must support all of the features required in this specification.
This section is normative.
This specification defines a module called XML Events. The XML Events module uses the XML namespace [XMLNAMES] identifier
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events.
Examples in this document that use the namespace prefix "ev" all assume an xmlns declaration xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" somewhere suitable
in the document involved. All examples are informative.
The remainder of this section describes the elements and attributes in this module, the semantics, and provides an abstract module definition as required in [XHTMLMOD].
The XML Events Module supports the following element and attributes:
| Element |
Attributes |
Minimal Content Model |
| listener |
event (NMTOKEN),
observer (IDREF),
target (IDREF),
handler (URI),
phase ("capture" | "default"*),
propagate ("stop" | "continue"*),
defaultAction ("cancel" | "perform"*),
id (ID)
|
EMPTY |
Implementations: DTD, XML Schema
Element listener supports a subset of the DOM's EventListener interface. It is used to declare event listeners and register them with specific nodes in the DOM, and has
the following attributes:
- event
- The required
event attribute specifies the event type for which the listener is being registered. As specified by [DOM2EVENTS], the value
of the attribute should be an XML Name [XML].
- observer
- The optional
observer attribute specifies the id of the element with which the event listener is to be registered. If this attribute is not present, the observer is the
element that the event attribute is on (see later under "Attaching Attributes Directly to the Observer Element"), or the parent of that element
(see later under "Attaching Attributes Directly to the Handler Element").
- target
- The optional
target attribute specifies the id of the target element of the event (i.e., the node that caused the event). If this attribute is present, only events that
match both the event and target attributes will be processed by the associated event handler. Clearly because of the way events propagate, the target element should be a
descendent node of the observer element, or the observer element itself.
Use of this attribute requires care; for instance, if you specify
<listener event="click" observer="para1"
target="link1" handler="#clicker"/>
where 'para1' is some ancestor of the following node
<a id="link1" href="doc.html">The <em>draft</em> document</a>
and the user happens to click on the word "draft", the <em> element, and not the <a>, will be the target, and so the handler will not be activated; to catch
all mouse clicks on the <a> element and its children, use observer="link1", and no target attribute.
- handler
- The optional
handler attribute specifies the URI reference of a resource that defines the action that should be performed if the event reaches the observer. (This specification does
not mandate what form that element should take: see further the section "Event Handlers"). If this attribute is not present, the handler is the element that the
event attribute is on (see later under "Attaching Attributes Directly to the Handler Element").
- phase
- The optional
phase attribute specifies when (during which DOM 2 event propagation phase) the listener will be activated by the desired event.
capture- Listener is activated during capturing phase.
default- Listener is activated during bubbling or target phase.
The default behavior is phase="default".
Note that not all events bubble, in which case with phase="default" you can only handle the event by making the event's target the observer.
- propagate
- The optional
propagate attribute specifies whether after processing all listeners at the current node, the event is allowed to continue on its path (either in the capture or the
bubble phase).
stop- event propagation stops
continue- event propagation continues (unless stopped by other means, such as scripting, or by another listener).
The default behavior is propagate="continue".
- defaultAction
- The optional
defaultAction attribute specifies whether after processing of all listeners for the event, the default action for the event (if any) should be performed or not. For
instance, in XHTML the default action for a mouse click on an <a> element or one of its descendents is to traverse the link.
cancel- if the event type is cancelable, the default action is cancelled
perform- the default action is performed (unless cancelled by other means, such as scripting, or by another listener).
The default value is defaultAction="perform".
Note that not all events are cancelable, in which case this attribute is ignored.
- id
- The optional
id attribute is a document-unique identifier. The value of this identifier is often used to manipulate the element through a DOM interface.
Note that observer = "<element-id>" and event = "<event-type>" are similar to the begin = "<element-id>.<event-type>" attribute in
SMIL EventTiming [SMIL20].
-
This example attaches the handler in the element at "#doit" that will get activated when the event called activate occurs on the element with id="button1",
or any of its children. The activation will occur during bubbling, or if the event happened on the observer element itself, when the event reaches the element (phase target).
<listener event="activate" observer="button1" handler="#doit"/>
-
This attaches the handler at #overflow-handler that will get activated when the event overflow occurs on the element with id="expr1" and bubbles up to the
element with id="prog1".
<listener event="overflow" observer="prog1" target="expr1"
handler="#overflow-handler"/>
-
This attaches the handler at #popup that will get activated whenever an activate event occurs at the element with id="embargo" or any of its children. Since
it will be activated during the capture phase, and propagation is stopped, this will have the effect (regardless of what the handler does) of preventing any child elements of the embargo
element seeing any activate events.
<listener event="activate" observer="embargo" handler="#popup"
phase="capture" propagate="stop"/>
-
This attaches a handler from another document.
<listener event="activate" observer="image1"
handler="/handlers/events.xml#activate"/>
All the attributes from the listener element with the exception of id may be used as global attributes, as defined in Namespaces in XML [XMLNAMES], to attach the attributes to other elements.
Note that this means that the <listener> element is strictly speaking redundant, since the following
<anyelement ev:event="click" ev:observer="button1" ev:handler="#clicker"/>
would have the same effect as
<ev:listener event="click" observer="button1" handler="#clicker"/>
Nonetheless, for utility the <listener> element has been retained.
If the observer attribute is omitted (but not the handler attribute), then the element that the other attributes are attached to is the observer element.
-
This first example will attach the handler identified by "#popper" to the <a> element, and cancel the default action for the event.
<a href="doc.html" ev:event="activate" ev:handler="#popper"
ev:defaultAction="cancel">The document</a>
-
This will attach the handler at #handle-overflow for the event overflow to the current element.
<div ev:event="overflow" ev:handler="#handle-overflow"> ... </div>
If, when attaching the global attributes to an element, the handler attribute is omitted then the element that the other attributes are attached to is the handler element.
Note that, since the observer and target attributes are IDREFs, in this case the handler and observer/target elements must be in the same document (while in other cases,
since the handler attribute is a URI, the handler element may be in another document).
If the observer attribute is also omitted, then the parent of the handler element is the observer element.
-
In this case the element is the handler for the submit event on the element with id="form1".
<script type="application/x-javascript"
ev:event="submit" ev:observer="form1">
return docheck(event);
</script>
-
In this case the <action> element is the handler for event q-submit, and the observer is the questionnaire element.
<questionnaire submissionURL="/q/tally">
<action ev:event="q-submit">
...
</action>
...
</questionnaire>
-
The <script> element is the handler for event click; the <img> element is the observer.
<img src="button.gif" alt="OK">
<script ev:event="activate" type="application/x-javascript">
doactivate(event);
</script>
</img>
-
The <onevent> element is the handler for event enterforward. The <card> element is the observer.
<card>
<onevent ev:event="enterforward">
<go href="/url"/>
</onevent>
<p>
Hello!
</p>
</card>
-
The <catch> element is the handler for the nomatch event. The observer is the <field> element.
<form id="launch_missiles">
<field name="password">
<prompt>What is the code word?</prompt>
<grammar>
<rule id="root" scope="public">rutabaga</rule>
</grammar>
<help>It is the name of an obscure vegetable.</help>
<catch ev:event="nomatch">
<prompt>Security violation!</prompt>
<submit next="apprehend_felon" namelist="user_id"/>
</catch>
</field>
<block>
<goto next="#get_city"/>
</block>
</form>
-
This example shows three handlers for different events. The observer for all three is the <secret> element.
<secret ref="/login/password">
<caption>Please enter your password</caption>
<info ev:event="help">
Mail help@example.com in case of problems
</info>
<info ev:event="hint">
A pet's name
</info>
<info ev:event="alert">
This field is required
</info>
</secret>
The following table summarizes which elements play the role of observer or handler if the relevant attribute is omitted.
The effect of omitted observer and handler attributes
|
Handler present |
Handler omitted |
| Observer present |
(As declared) |
Element is handler |
| Observer omitted |
Element is observer |
Element is handler
Parent is observer |
This specification does not require an XML application that uses XML Events to use any particular method for specifying handlers. However, the examples, particularly those in the section on
attaching the attributes directly to the handler, are intended to give examples of how they could be specified.
It is however recognized that two methods are likely to occur often: scripting (such as XHTML's <script> element) and declarative markup using XML elements (such as WML's <onevent>
element). A companion specification will provide markup to support these methods.
The Basic XML Events Profile allows restrictions on the usage of the XML Events Module in order to make processing easier on small devices.
The Basic Profile allows the following restrictions on the use of listener element and its attributes, and on the use of the attributes from the listener element as
global attributes.
-
External Event Handlers
The ability to process external event handlers is not required. When the 'handler' attribute on the listener element is used, or when the global 'handler' attribute is used, the
handler specified in the value of that attribute should be within the current document.
For example, the following is allowed:
<listener event="click" target="#button1" handler="#clicker"/>
while the following is not required to be processed:
<listener event="click" target="#button1" handler="doc2.html#clicker"/>
- Ordering of Event Bindings
The binding of an event handler to an observer may be required to be lexically before the end of the observer element. In other words, a <listener> binding to an observer may not occur after
the closing tag of the observer element, and an event handler carrying the attributes to bind it to an observer may also not occur after the closing tag of the observer element.
This section is informative.
This specification does not normatively specify how language designers should name events (i.e., the values used in the event attribute).
However, future versions of DOM Events are likely to allow namespaced event names, so language designers are advised not to use the colon character ":" in event names.
A number of event types are defined in DOM2 [DOM2EVENTS], to which you should refer for their names and semantics.
This appendix is normative.
The DTD implementation of XML Events conforms to the requirements defined in [XHTMLMOD]. Consequently, it provides a Qualified Names sub-module, and a
module file for the XML Events module defined in this Proposed Recommendation.
Note that this module defines the parameter entity %xml-events-attrs.qname;. This entity is intended to be used in the attribute lists of elements in any host language that permits
the use of event attributes on elements in its own namespace. In this case the Host Language driver should set a parameter entity %XML-EVENTS.prefixed; to INCLUDE and a
parameter entity %XML-EVENTS.prefix; to a value that is the prefix for the XML Events attributes.
