I really don't envy you the oddysey, but how come you didn't use a framework that manages events quite well - even canvas ones. Considering who you asked, Dojo might be a good idea :) Actually, dojo.gfx wraps all 2D graphics for both IE, FF and Safari, using canvas API lookalikes for all. And you can use the usual events on all 'canvas' elements as well. Perhaps I don't understand well enough what you're trying to do, but I felt that maybe it could have helped. Peace. Cheers, PS Wow!
