What are the values that I can expect from evt.type when handling an event?

Question

I have a single click listener and a double click listener. I want to differentiate the different types between a single click and a double click so that I can guarantee that a piece of code doesn't execute during the wrong event and fail. Please let me know. So far the difference between the two that I have is evt.type = "click" and evt.type = "MSPointerUp"<-- What I receive during a double click event. Being that this type seems to be Microsoft specific, I would like to know the other types that are out there for the different browsers for the double click event type. If there is a universal type that I can check for please let me know. Your help would be greatly appreciated on this.

Thanks!!!

I was being a bit stubborn against duplicating code but I figured it out by utilizing what you said. I just had to replicate the same code twice and make the tweak to it for it to work. Thanks for the answer!!!!

Andy,

I am not sure I understand your issue.

You could launch a new function from both handlers with a property that tells which it came from.

on(map, "click", lang.hitch(this, function(evt){
    onClickHandler(evt, "single");
});
on(map, "dbl-click", lang.hitch(this, function(evt){
    onClickHandler(evt, "double");
});

and now that you know which event it came from you handle it differently.
