No, even "event" or "Event" won't work. I actually took part of the code from "Pure JavaScript" (by R. Allen Wyke, Jason D. Gilliam, and Charlton Ting) and then modified it to my needs....even in the book there is "evnt" instead of "event"....anyone?:help:

that was only a guess as I don't know javascript that well.

function handleX(evnt){
document.write("X: " + evnt.pageX);
return true;
}

evnt???

how about event


No, evnt is correct. Netscape passes the event object automatically to the function, and evnt is a naming handle.

This sample code would only work for Netscape.
(And even then not very well, before you can define event handlers you must enable event capture. And you can't have two event handlers for the one event.)
