[OpenLayers-Dev] Control.Panel: main-<div> and handling of mousedown-events

[Marc Jansen]

Hi list,

currently mousedowns/clicks that happen directliy on the <div> of a 
Control.Panel are not being stopped but are being sent e.g. to the map 
the panel-divs lies over.

This might be useful in some setups, in mine it isn't. I was wondering 
whether we should make it configurable to have the panel <div> stop the 
mousedown event or whether this even can be considered a bug.

What do you think?

I wanted to discuss this first before opening a ticket. The attached 
patch fixes my personal issue, but stops mousedowns on the 
Control.Panel-<div> in any case, e.g. it is not configurable via a 
config-option. It'd be easy to wrap that in a conditional, of course.

Thanks for any response and regards,

Marc


BTW: how would you test (speaking of unit-tests) that the new behaviour 
does what it is supposed to do? Is there documentation on how to test 
eventhandling and simulating e.g. clicks? Which testfile can I use to 
learn from source?
