[Windmill-dev] https; file uploads; extjs and click support

[Matthew Eernisse]

Adam,

It might be worth considering allowing a preventDefault option to be 
passed which would call that method immediately on our events before 
they are actually dispatched, if it will work. It might not be that hard 
to do, and would keep us from having to add new method calls to the API.

(With a wee bit of thought I realized how silly a stopPropagation option 
would be -- you'd have an event that does absolutely nothing, duh. :))

On the other hand, if you're going to keep the current new method, could 
you consider naming it something more descriptive? I can think of two 
specific cases where the preventDefault option comes into play a lot -- 
following links on a click, and the default submission of forms with the 
onsubmit.

Perhaps all we need is something like clickNoFollowLink, and 
submitNoSubmitActualForm or something.

On the other hand, being able to call preventDefault preemptively on all 
our actions might be more flexible.
