Synopsis
FOR=elementID
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. Use the unique ID
attribute value of the element whose event you wish to handle. 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=firstNameEntry EVENT="onChange()"> ... </SCRIPT>
Value
Case-sensitive ID value of the event-generating element, unquoted.
The object described in the FOR attribute must
support the event named in the EVENT attribute.
Default
None.
