Netscape 6, Part III: The Event Model

A Final Word

In this column we continued our look at scripting Netscape 6. We taught you the new event model that is a combination of Netscape Navigator 4.x's event model and Internet Explorer's event model, with additional enhancements. We showed you the advantages of Netscape 6's event model over former generations, mainly the ability to install several event listeners for the same event type, and for the same object. We showed you two examples that exercise the concepts of event listening and action definition. We explained the e object and its twelve properties.
