HTML5 deployment

[hh]

* There are some things relating 1 & 2 one could think about:

Start with mouseEvents (incl. wheel) and modifier keys.

Then one could use native fields so that the browser does the keyboard job
and executes all shortcuts for fields.
To get/set field values is easy. A native styled field is also possible
(see my demo at hyperhh.de/html5).

My technique is to use ordinary LC fields, hide these (and optionally use
them as container). Then adjust the native field rects to these hidden field
rects in the movestack/resizestack handlers.

* For 3 it would be enough to define ONE 'window'/canvas of id 'menu' for the
menus with a z-level of say 23121950 and similarly define ONE 'window'/canvas
for the tooltips of id 'tooltip' with a z-level of say 23121949.

That implies: do NOT create a new window for each menu/tooltip.
Probably function createWindow in em-dc.js needs a switch for that (I could
not find out where this method is called for menus/tooltips).

Then insert the two lines
canvas.classList.add('lcStack');
canvas.id('stack_'+tWindowID);
after current line 128 of em-dc.js, so one has several methods to get stack
objects.

* For 4 one could use the lib I use for htmlPlayer. This needs jQuery but it
is the only one I've found that works with LC-menus. I added a short script
to put stacks into a panel.
