About Event Helper Mappings

Inter-platform event mappings done by the Event Helper object are harmonized, in that similar actions that create different events on different platforms result in the same behavior across platforms.

The following table shows unified event names and their corresponding actions on touch and non-touch platforms. Using the new unified events creates familiar experiences for users across platforms.

Unified Event Name	Translation On Non-Touch Platform	Translation On Touch Platform
down	mousedown	touchstart
start	mousedown	touchstart
click	click	click
up	mouseup	touchend
end	mouseup	touchend
move	mousemove	touchmove
over	mouseover	none
out	mouseout	none
cancel	mouseout	touchcancel
dnter	mouseenter	none
leave	mouseleave	none
hover	hover	none
focus	focus	focus
blur	blur	blur
keydown	keydown	none
keyup	keyup	none
keypress	keypress	keypress

Furthermore, the same unified bindings translate to pointer-based events if the Siebel Open UI Client application detects that the browser supports the pointer object. This behavior is specific to Internet Explorer browsers and pointer events used by Microsoft to unify event handling across different devices on Internet Explorer 10 and later.

The following table describes the pointer event mapping.
