> BUT: I doubt this pointer event thing is a good example for their reluctance because it's really just a nice-to-have feature for the Surface and the Note series which is for my taste a too small target to justify a standard.
This is inaccurate. The pointer events standard allows you to avoid the 300ms delay mobile / touch screen browsers have and is useful across all devices. Without it you have to continue using hacks to prevent the delay.
- bonn1 12y agoThis is inaccurate. Nowadays, the 300ms goes already away if you set the meta viewport tag with width=device-width etc [1] [1] http://updates.html5rocks.com/2013/12/300ms-tap-delay-gone-away http://updates.html5rocks.com/2013/12/300ms-tap-delay-gone-a...
- BinaryIdiot 12y agoThat is still pretty new and not all browsers support it; pointer events is a better solution to this problem.
