Event handlers

Many elements can have event handlers defined for them. These contain fragments of JavaScript that is executed when the event occurs. The following event handlers exist, though not all exist for all elements:

Event handler	When does it occur
OnAbort	Loading of the image is aborted.
OnBlur	Element looses keyboard focus. Not all elements support keyboard focus even if this event handler is valid for that element.
OnChange	User has changed the element.
OnClick	User has clicked on the element.
OnError	Image loading errored.
OnFocus	Element gets keyboard focus. Not all elements support keyboad focus even if this event handler is valid for that element.
OnLoad	The image or document is completely loaded.
OnMouseOut	User has moved the mouse away from the element.
OnMouseOver	User has moved the mouse on top of the element.
OnReset	User has reset the form.
OnSelect	User has drag-selected text within the form field. Currently not supported by AWeb.
OnSubmit	User has submitted the form.
OnUnload	The document is about to be unloaded.

Colour specifications

Several tags (like BODY, FONT and HR) have attributes that take a colour specification. There are two ways of specifying a colour: by RGB value or by name.

By RGB value

This is a six-digit hexadecimal number, preceded by a hash sign (#). The number is interpreted as 2 digits for RED, 2 digits for GREEN and 2 digits for BLUE. 00 means this colour doesn't contribute to the resulting colour, FF means this colour contributes at its maximum.

By name

The HTML 3.2 standard defines 16 colour names. In tolerant mode, AWeb also recognizes a long list of names introduced by NetScape. Look at the colour list to see all colours.
