Does IE 7 and 8 use Internet explorer event model?

Question

I am reading "Javascript The Definitive Guide". In this book, Events and Event handling, there are three event-handling models, the original event model, the standard event model and Internet explorer event model.

It says upto IE6 it uses Internet explorer event model.

I am wondering if IE7 and 8 still uses it. Or does it use the standard event model.

Answer 1

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