Setting Events in Internet Explorer

Our sample paragraph includes a single sentence, part of it in bold. We attach an onClick event handler to both the paragraph tag (<P>) and the bold tag (<B>):

onClick = "alert('Thank you for clicking...!');

Both event handlers pop up an alert box. First, is the bold text's alert box ('Thank you for clicking somewhere in the bold section!'), followed by the paragraph's alert box ('Thank you for clicking somewhere in the paragraph!'). You can see by the order of the alert boxes that the bold text object processes the event before the paragraph object. Here is the full listing of the HTML code:

<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P onClick="alert('Thank you for clicking somewhere in
  the paragraph!')">
This is a paragraph, and
<B onClick="alert('Thank you for clicking somewhere in
  the bold section!')">
these are bold words in the paragraph</B>.
</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>

This is a paragraph, and these are bold words in the paragraph.
