Cross browser event issues

In my next post I'll submit an Opera-only, canvas-based widget. My
intent is to write code that runs in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and
Safari. Below is a tiny tester for the events I want to handle. Any
help getting this to support the <canvas> community would be
appreciated.
--------------------------------------
<! t.html - test event handling>

<html>
<head>
<script>
function click_() { alert( 'click' ); }
function keyPress() { alert( 'keyPress' ); }
function wheel() { alert( 'wheel' ); }
</script>
<style>
table {
position:absolute; top:10px; left:10px;
background: red;
}
.label {
position:absolute; top:80px; left:10px;
}
canvas {
position:absolute; top:100px; left:10px;
background:blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<button style='font-size:18px; background:yellow'
onclick=click_() onkeypress=keyPress() onmousewheel=wheel()>
button
</button>
<div class=label>Canvas:</div>
<canvas height=50 width=100
onclick=click() onkeypress=keyPress() onmousewheel=wheel()>
no canvas
</canvas>
</body>
</html>

<! end of t.html>

Bug in code. Name of click handler in canvas should be "click_", not
just "click".

WARRNING! PPK's dropdown widget Krashed Konqueror. Scroll or search
instead.

Seems we're still on the bleeding edge, here:

Worse, above table is one dimension short. What works depends on what
it's attached to. Firefox fires keydown on a button, but not on a
canvas.

Worst, the w3c documentation makes the implicit assumption that the
JavaScript widget set is sufficiently complete that no one would be
adding their own.

Posts with valid HTML tend to get much better responses here.

You can't really expect anything from such invalid code.

You can't really expect invalid code like that to do what you want it to.
