Writing Event Code

Events are treated similarly to attributes. You must give the event a value, and the value is the code you want to run when the event happens. The word "on" is added to the front of the event name; for example, the click event will become onclick.

The event value is in double quotes and starts with the word JScript followed by a colon. The code you want to run comes next, followed by a semicolon and the closing double quotes. For example, to stop playing when the user clicks on a button, type the following as an attribute in your BUTTON element code:

onclick = "JScript: player.Controls.Stop() ; "

If you have a code that requires quotes, use single quotes. Care must be taken when using quotation marks so that they are balanced properly. Here is an example of using both types:

onclick = "JScript: player.URL = 'https://proseware.com/laure.wma' ; "

You can also change attributes of your skin when handling an external event. For example, to close a view named myView, you could type:

onclick = "JScript: myView.close() ;"
