window.onScroll event not firing when also connecting to a document.documentElement event

[chris@…]

When I connect to the window's onscroll event, it works just fine.

dojo.event.connect(window, "onscroll", function(){dojo.debug("Scrolling!");});

After attaching to an event on document.documentElement, then the onScroll stops working. There are several widgets that attach to the document.documentElement such as the FisheyeList? and causes onScrolls to stop working.

I don't believe the problem is in dojo.event.*, but it could be band-aided by adding some

This problem occurs in Firefox 1.5.0.6 (Windows), Flock 0.7.1 (Windows), and Mozilla 1.7.12. Opera 9 (Windows) and Internet Explorer 7 work correctly.

A workaround involves changing instances of "document.documentElement" to "document".

I've attached an example. You may need to update the path to the dojo.js.

onScroll bug

[Jonathan Bond-Caron]

This seems to be a bug in Firefox (tested with 1.5.0.8)

The following test case reproduces, it has nothing to do with dojo:

function block() { }

document.documentElement.addEventListener("onscroll", block, false); window.addEventListener("onscroll", function() {alert('hey')}, false);

the window onscroll event never gets called, hopefully Bug189308 will be reopened:

OK, checked over the 0.9 code (both dijit and dojox). Always connecting to "onscroll" on window so this isn't an issue anymore.
