In JavaScript is it possible on IE to register one event listener to capture all the change, focus, and blur events on the page?

• In non-IE browsers:
  • The change event bubbles, so you can catch it when it gets to document in the bubbling phase.
  • The focus and blur events don't bubble, but you can catch them on the capture phase with one event listener on document.
• On IE:
  • None of those 3 events bubb开发者_开发知识库le (including the change event, which is not spec compliant).
  • There is no capture phase on IE.

So, as far as I know, the only way on IE is to register an event listener for change, focus, and blur on every form control. This operation can be expensive when you have a lot of controls. But is there a better way?

jQuery 1.4 defines 'focusin' and 'focusout' to capture focus and blur events for all browsers.
