Well I haven't a clue what those acronyms mean, so clearly I don't know it all. ;-) Seriously though, if I come across as being a bit arrogant, I appologise. I don't know half the stuff that some of the people on this list know so I certainly don't want to seem to be a "know it all". I'm aware my contributions can be a bit curt, but that's more to do with time constraints than attitude. I simply want to help ensure the SVG out there is portable by correcting some of the errors I see posted to the list that will cause things to break in implementations other than ASV. I hope others on the list would point out any mistakes I make (both those that would cause portability problems, and any others). Anyway, back to the question in hand. I seem to recall the DOM 2 Events spec says something about event objects being passed as an argument to the first parameter of the event handler. The implication of this is that you need to make sure the handler has at least one parameter, and that it's that parameter that you use to refer to the event object. ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- _____ Yahoo!
