eventPhase JavaScript (JS) Example: HTML DOM Objects – Other Event Attributes – eventPhase JavaScript (JS) Example
eventPhase JavaScript (JS) Example: HTML DOM Objects – Other Event Attributes – eventPhase JavaScript (JS) Example
Purpose: – Illustrates the JavaScript syntax for the eventPhase Event Attribute.
Prerequistes:
- Install Visual Web Developer 2008
Syntax: event.eventPhase – returns the eventPhase. This does not work in IE.
Restrictions: None
Notes:
- You can build your own library of syntax examples by using same web site over and over and just add new files to it.
Instructions:
- Use Visual Web Developer 2008
- Create new web site;
- Click File/New Web Site
- Select ASP.NET Website Template
- Select C-Sharp for language
- name of Web Site could be JavaScript_Syntax.
- Add New folder named “HTMLDOMObjects”
- Right-click project name in solution explorer;
- add new folder;
- name of folder should be: HTMLDOMObjects
- Add New subfolder to “HTMLDOMObjects” folder named “DOMEvent”
- Right-click folder named “HTMLDOMObjects” in solution explorer;
- add new folder;
- name of folder should be: DOMEvent
- Add New subfolder to “DOMEvent” subfolder named “OtherEventAttributes”
- Right-click subfolder named “DOMEvent” in solution explorer;
- add new folder;
- name of folder should be: OtherEventAttributes
- Add HTML Page Named eventPhase to OtherEventAttributes subfolder
- Right-click OtherEventAttributes subfolder;
- add new item;
- Select HTML Page
- HTML Page name should be eventPhase
- Click on copy code in code below to copy code into HTML Page eventPhase.htm
- Right-click on HTML page eventPhase.htm and select view in browser

The captureEvents() method captures all the events of the event type passed. When you have multiple events to capture, separate them with the pipe, |, character. Here are the types of event you can capture: 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 --> <!-- Script for example 1 --> <script type="text/javascript"> function GetPhase(event, tagNamex) { if (event.eventPhase === undefined) { // Internet Explorer writeData("Your browser does not support this example!"); return; } switch (event.eventPhase) { case Event.CAPTURING_PHASE: writeData("The event flow is in the capturing phase.
