Syntax



window.captureEvents(event)
    window.captureEvents(event1 | event2 | eventN)

The captureEvents() method captures all the events of the event type passed.

If you have multiple events to capture, separate them with the pipe, |, character.

The types of events that can be captured are as follows:

Event.ABORT

Event.BLUR

Event.CHANGE

Event.CLICK

Event.DBLCLICK

Event.DRAGDROP

Event.ERROR

Event.FOCUS

Event.KEYDOWN

Event.KEYPRESS

Event.KEYUP

Event.LOAD

Event.MOUSEDOWN

Event.MOUSEMOVE

Event.MOUSEOUT

Event.MOUSEOVER

Event.MOUSEUP

Event.MOVE

Event.RESET

Event.RESIZE

Event.SELECT

Event.SUBMIT

Event.UNLOAD

After an event has been captured, you can define a function to replace the built-in method for handling the event.
