Name

event — NN 4 IE 4 DOM n/a

Synopsis

While the event object contains information about a user- or system-generated event in Navigator and Internet Explorer, the event mechanisms for the two browser families are very different, as described in Chapter 6. With only a few exceptions, the event object properties for the two browsers are mutually exclusive. Observe the browser compatibility listings for each of the following properties carefully.
