Capturing Events

Within Document Extensions, is there a way to capture user events such as a key pressed on the Browser window or a mouse click anywhere on the webpage?

Hi,

I don't think, there are such events are logged by the application.

I think so. It's all javascript. See here for example: http://community.qlik.com/message/259096#259096

Hey William,

Sure, since the AJAX-client is a web page every normal dom events are applicable.

QV also ships with jQuery so you can use that to hook into the events and attach your own listener.

Somthing like,

$( "#PageContainer" ).on( "click", function() {

alert( 'Clickely Click' );

});
