Most JavaScript frameworks I've looked at that deal with input events (like jQuery) normalize events by checking for the presence of various properties when the event is received. It seems though it should be possible to determine in advance what properties to use by using event creation, e.g. (exception logging omitted for brevity): var mouseButtonPropertyToUse = "button";var event = null;if (typeof MouseEvent === "function") { event = new MouseEvent("");} else { try { event = document.createEvent("MouseEvent"); } catch (exception) { try { event = document.createEvent("MouseEvents"); } catch (exception) { } }}if (event && "buttons" in event) { mouseButtonPropertyToUse = "buttons";} This seems like it would work, but I haven't seen it done this way in practice so I'm wondering if there are potential problems I'm overlooking. Is this a viable approach for event normalization?
