Issue with Mouse events and transparent background on Input elements and Textareas
Please consider the following article:
http://blog.rednael.com/2009/09/01/TrappingMouseEventsOnTransparentInputElementsOrTextareasInIE.aspx

It describes an issue when trying to trap mouse events on transparent Input elements (type=text) and Textarea elements.

Mr. Raymond Kenneth Petry
Beware - some sites - Left button only

An intallation site may disable the Right-button, so that only the Left-button fires onmouseup, while either Button, Left or Right, fires onmousedown. (Public installations do this.)
