Does IE 7 and 8 use the Internet Explorer event model?

Question

I am reading the Javascript The Definitive Guide. In this book, "Processing Events and Events," there are three event processing models, an original event model, a standard event model, and an Internet Explorer event model.

He says that before IE6 he uses the Internet explorer event model.

I am wondering if IE7 and 8 are using it. Or he uses a standard event model.

Answer 1

Internet Explorer 7 and 8 continue to adhere to the Microsoft event model from IE6 and do not use the W3C event model.
