can you tell me a little more about your requirements here?  for mouse events 
would you be looking at the same sort of thing as Connection - mouseenter, 
mouseexit, click?

for labels, what sort of control over positioning would you need?

there is no support in the api for doing this right now.  that's why it doesn't 
work ;)

i need to know more about your requirements.  please see my earlier comment.

my requirements are these:
1)add mouse event on endpoint like a click.
2)add a label to every endpoint.
for first requiremets i add to jsPlumb.Endpoints.Dot 
a variable this.testo= params.testo;
and in paint function 
canvas.onmousedown   = function (event) {alert(self.testo)};
this work on firefox, crome ie8 but not in ie6.
For the second requierements i still work.
Can u help me to make the first requirements work on Ie6 and complete the 
second requieremets.

in any IE other than IE9, jsPlumb uses excanvas for painting.  this does not 
actually use the Canvas element; instead it paints a bunch of VML onto the 
screen.  so it does not surprise me that directly registering mouse listeners 
works in chrome/ff but fails in IE.

for the mouse events i can just add Endpoints to the code that does it for 
Connections right now.  however, this does not currently work in IE, and i have 
no notion of how long it will be until it works in IE.  i intend to get it 
working (if i can) for release 1.2.6 but i do not know when that release will 
happen.

I have the same problem. I would like to add an event to the endpoint other 
than connecting, say when you double click an endpoint, a pop-up window shows 
up.How can I do this? Is the connecting the only supported event in the current 
version?

I can try this
a variable this.testo= params.testo;
and in paint function 
canvas.onmousedown   = function (event) {alert(self.testo)};
I just want to know if it is officially supported in the current version or 
not. Thanks

I have added this feature in my own application.

it's not in the current jsPlumb version (which is 1.2.5; in fact there are no 
mouse events supported in 1.2.5), or in 1.2.6 development (which does currently 
have support for mouse events on connections).  this enhancement is targeted 
for the 1.2.6 release.

i've added the code to support mouse events on Endpoints now.  you can register 
listeners for mouseenter, mouseexit, click and dblclick.

as for the label requirement, one question i have is what options would we need 
to support to allow for positioning of the label?    i'm leaning towards an 
[x,y] type thing, where x and y define fractions along each axis, and are bound 
by the range 

0 <= N <= 1

with a default value of [0,0].

any feedback you have would be appreciated.

nobody ever answered my question about what the API should look like, so i have 
not done anything about Endpoint labels.  i am releasing 1.3.0 either tonight 
or tomorrow and am very unlikely to make any more changes to the code at this 
point.

1.3.0 was released today.  renaming and marking fixed.  if someone wants the 
label on endpoint stuff i am happy to look at it, but i need some input on the 
API.
