Synopsis
EVENT=”eventName"Optional
Internet Explorer 4’s event model allows binding of object
events to SCRIPT elements with the help of the
EVENT and FOR attributes. As
the page loads, the browser registers each SCRIPT
element with its event and object binding so that when the object
generates the event, the script statements inside the
SCRIPT element execute—without having to
write event handlers for the objects or wrap the script statements
inside function definitions. Event values are written either as
unquoted event names or as quoted event names formatted as functions
(with trailing parentheses and optional parameter names). Use this
type of script-event binding only in Internet Explorer. Navigator
attempts to execute the script statements while the page loads.
Example
<SCRIPT FOR=window EVENT=onresize> ... </SCRIPT>
Value
Case-sensitive event name (unquoted) or the event name as a function
inside a quote pair. The object described in the
FOR attribute must support the event named in the
EVENT attribute.
Default
None.
