The onMouseOver() event [Archive]

Sep 25th, 2000, 12:39 PM

Hi there, I have a very puzzling question:

I need to be able to identify which cell of a table has been clicked once the mouse is hovering on the table.
Here's what the codes should look like:

<table id="mytable" border="1" cellspacing="1" width="100">
<tr>
<td> id="A1" width="50"</td>
<td> id="A2" width="50"</td>
</tr>
<td> id="A3" width="50"</td>
<td> id="A4" width="50"</td>
</table>

<script language=vbscript>
sub mytable_onMouseOver()
sub mytable_onClick()
{find out which cell id is clicked}
end sub
end sub
</script>

....Hope I've been clear enough......If you have any suggestion please forward it, it will be very much appreciated. Thanks

Serge

Unfortunately, you can't have nested Subs, Functions.
Here's what you can do to find out what TD was clicked.

<HTML>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=vbscript>
Sub MyTable_onclick
MsgBox document.activeElement.innerText
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<P>*</P>

<TABLE id=MyTable border=1 width=500 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1>
<TR>
<TD id=td1>td1</TD>
<TD id=td2>td2</TD>
<TD id=td3>td3</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD id=td4>td4</TD>
<TD id=td5>td5</TD>
<TD id=td6>td6</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Regards,
