Hi All,

I ran TestScripting.html shown below in
- FireFox 1.5.0.1 and
- IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_050301-1519
on a Windows XP-Pro/SP2 system.

I initiated execution by right-clicking the filename in a Windows
Explorer window and selecting one browser or the other. I also
double-clicked the filename which brought up FireFox.

In all cases, the browsers acted like I had double-clicked the
document, i.e. the document came up with the alert window displayed,
and after I dismissed the alert, both text phrases were displayed.

I appreciate learning how I can get the script to remain dormant
until I actually double-click the document.


document.ondoubleclick=AlertOnDblClick()

should be...

document.ondoubleclick=AlertOnDblClick
