Doc JavaScript

Some events are not fired automatically from an HTC to its master element. Still, you can use scripting to force the event firing from a document fragment to a primary document. Here is an example from an HTC that implements the custom tag DOCJS:

<PUBLIC:COMPONENT tagName="DOCJS"></PUBLIC:DOCUMENT>
<PUBLIC:DEFAULTS viewLinkContent></PUBLIC:DEFAULTS>
<BODY>
<DIV onmouseout="element.fireEvent('onmouseout', event)">
  Here is some text to demonstrate event firing. Move the cursor over this text and out.
</DIV>
</BODY>
