Window.releaseEvents( ) |
stop capturing events |
Availability
Netscape 4
Synopsis
window.releaseEvents(eventmask)
document.releaseEvents(eventmask)
layer.releaseEvents(eventmask)
Arguments
- eventmask
-
An integer that specifies the type of events that the window,
document, or layer should stop capturing. This value should be one of
the static event type constants defined by the Event class, or it
should be a group of event type constants combined with the
bitwise-OR (|) or addition operator.
Description
The releaseEvents( ) method of the Window,
Document, and Layer objects performs the opposite action of the
captureEvents( ) method of those classes. In the
Netscape 4 event model, releaseEvents( ) specifies
that the window,
document, or
layer should no longer capture events of
the types specified by eventmask. See the
"Event.TYPE" reference page for a list of the constants
that can be used in the eventmask
argument.
