2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation

포인터 취소

Summary

Functions should fire on the up-event, not the down-event. That lets someone who pressed the wrong control slide off it to cancel. For users with limited motor control, this margin for correction is often the only safeguard against mis-taps.

Common failures

  • Firing irreversible actions like delete or purchase on `mousedown` or `touchstart`.
