JavaScript » Event » srcElement
- Syntax:
- event.srcElement[ = oObject ]
Sets of retrieves te object that fired the event.
The property is read/write (in I.E. 5.0 and later), and has no default value.
Examples
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
function selectWord() {
var oSource = window.event.srcElement;
if (!oSource.isTextEdit)
oSource = window.event.srcElement.parentTextEdit;
if (oSource != null) {
var oTextRange = oSource.createTextRange();
oTextRange.moveToElementText(window.event.srcElement);
oTextRange.collapse();
oTextRange.expand("word");
oTextRange.select();
}
}
</SCRIPT>
Explanation:
This example uses the srcElement property to retrive the parent object, if needed, create the text range, move the original object, and select the first word in the object.
