Event Object Properties
Although event handlers in the DHTML Object Model do not receive parameters directly, a handler can query the event object for the following event properties.
Available Properties
| cancelBubble |
Sets or retrieves whether the current event should bubble up the hierarchy of event handlers. |
|---|
| type |
Sets or retrieves the event name from the event object. |
|---|
Remarks
In Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) applications, client requests
that do not trigger traditional page navigation
should update the
hash
property. This lets the Back button
function more predictably.
The URL fragment (bookmark) can be set by script.
The value is appended to the displayed URL,
and the navigation is saved in the browser history.
