Firefox Nightly Now Supports W3C Pointer Events
Mozilla has added support for the Pointer Events specification to the newest Firefox Nightly builds.
The Pointer Events specification devised by the W3C is designed to deal with the increasing spectrum of input devices for the web from touch-input to pens or a conventional mouse. The Pointer Events specification provides a clean API for dealing with all sorts of input devices.
Those unfamiliar with the Pointer Events API can read all about it along with some code snippets via the announcement that was posted today to the Mozilla Hacks blog. The actual specification can be read at W3.org.
