dblclick and click

[Thomas Lefort]

Is there a clean way to handle the click/dbclick issue in v3?

The "issue" arising when you want to have a different behaviour on both click and dblclick, as click is automatically triggered on a dblclick event.

I have seen some rather unclean workarounds such as timers and else... looking for something more straightforward.

BTW what is the reason for triggering both events?

The reason is a logical one: A double click consists of two clicks -
using the same mouse button.

So if you want to isolate a double click event from a single click
event the first click of the double click event must be canceled by
turning back the clock. Logically and physically impossible.

If a double click event would only be possible when using an extra
button then this would be no problem.

Yes sorry it was a bit of a stupid question indeed... I am stuck though
as I need to have both events handled by the same element, which OK is
arguably bad practice... I guess I will have to do with the timer solution.
