The e object holds a lot of information about the Netscape 6 event. The altKey property, for example, reveals whether the ALT key was in a pressed position during the event firing. The following statement prints true when the ALT key is pressed, and false otherwise:
window.status = e.altKey;
The status window is shown on the bottom left corner of Netscape 6 window. Notice that you have to pass the e object as a parameter to those functions which reference it. In the following example, we pass the e object as a parameter to colorItYellow() and colorItTan():
<DIV ID="demoDiv" STYLE="position:relative; left:100px; top:20px; width:120px;
height:25px; color:blue; background-color:yellow;">Mouse over me!</DIV>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var demoObj;
function init() {
demoObj = document.getElementById("demoDiv");
demoObj.addEventListener("mouseover", colorItTan, false);
demoObj.addEventListener("mouseout", colorItYellow, false);
}
function colorItTan(e) {
demoObj.style.backgroundColor = "tan";
window.status = e.altKey;
}
function colorItYellow(e) {
demoObj.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
window.status = e.altKey;
}
onload = init;
// -->
</SCRIPT>
