Grand Unified Table: Events and Supported Properties of the Event Object
February 15,1999
The end of this rainbow offers the scintillating promise
of a Grand Unified Table which illustrates, for each
event, which properties of the event object are available,
in each browser. Oy! Once again, events supported only
by Netscape are in blue while those betrothed to Microsoft
are in red.
