which the event occurred. Note that these coordinates are

event occurred.

target

the event occurred.

type

erty of the Event object is “click”.

mouse button was pressed or released. For keyboard events,

this property contains the character encoding of the key that

was pressed. For mouse events, it contains 1, 2, or 3, indi-

cating the left, middle, or right buttons.

width

Set only in resize events. Specifies the new width of the

window or frame that was resized.

properties are synonyms for

layerX and layerY and specify the
