	* attribute value is 1 when the user begins this action and increments by 1
	* for each full sequence of pressing and releasing. If the user moves the
	* mouse between the mousedown and mouseup the value will be set to 0,

	* most deeply nested element. Ancestors of the targeted element may use
	* bubbling to obtain notification of mouse events which occur within its
	* descendent elements.
