HTML 4 mentions the above events (and others) for the COL column element. None is fired with M11: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Gods </CAPTION> <COL ID="Name" ONMOUSEOVER="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);"> <COL ID="Home" ONCLICK="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);"> <COL ID="Power" ONKEYPRESS="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);"> <TR BGCOLOR="blue" ONKEYPRESS="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);"> <TH> Name </TH> <TH> Home </TH> <TH> Power </TH> </TR> <TR BGCOLOR="lime"> <TD> Kibo </TD> <TD> www.kibo.com </TD> <TD> 42 </TD> </TR> <TR BGCOLOR="yellow" ONMOUSEOVER="alert(event.type + ' for ' + this);"> <TD> Xibo </TD> <TD> www.xibo.com </TD> <TD> -42 </TD> </TR> </TABLE>

Hmm. Interesting. From looking at this and the HTML 4 spec I'm gonna have to call this a bug in the HTML 4 spec. The COL element has no direct visual representation and its doesn't live in the direct ancestor line for the tables rows/cells. I don't see, therefore, how it could get events. Its vaguely tied to the columns themselves but only as an attribute holder. Considering the vague state of events in HTML 4 this isn't really suprising but I'm gonna have to go with invalid here.
