what does this exactly do?

Code:

<SCRIPT FOR="objHeartbeat" EVENT="BrowserCommand(opCode,str)" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
self.BrowserCommand(opCode,str)
</SCRIPT>

i know BrowserCommand() is a function..but what does the EVENT mean? it is not an event or is it? and the SCRIPT FOR= tag?

tks in advance

This is an old and stupid IE-specific way to catch events. The script within this script tag is executed when some event occures on objHeartbeat.

ah so the ocx "BrowserCommand()" has nothing within it, just being something like a virtual function that is overriden by the html java function?

I don't know. I never really bothered with things that only work on IE.

But it's JavaScript in any case, not Java.
