Events do not have "default action"s #104

The concept is not defined.

Probably instead what you want to do is define an algorithm for performing certain operations. During the course of that algorithm, fire the event. Then, check if the event has been canceled. If not, perform other actions.

@domenic The UI-Events spec defines "default action". Would you think it would be OK if I used that definition? https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#default-action

No, that is wrong too. 😞

@annevk: Could you be more specific? What is wrong about the definition in UI events that is currently used?

It's not actually a thing that is part of the DOM event model.

johanneswilm commented 8 years ago

Ok, so it's also wrong the way it's used in the UI Events spec?

Yes.

Given that we really just expand upon events defined in UI Events, I wonder if it could be changed in UI events, and we just reference the new definition there? @garykac What do you think?
