Synopsis
<element onkeyup=" handler" ... >element.onkeyup
Description
The onkeyup property of an HTMLElement object
specifies an event handler function that is invoked when the user
releases a key over the element.
The initial value of this property is a function that contains the
JavaScript statements specified by the onkeyup
attribute of the HTML tag that defined the object. When an event
handler function is defined by an HTML attribute, it is executed in
the scope of element rather than in the
scope of the containing window.
In the Netscape 4 event model, the onkeyup handler
function is passed an Event object as an argument. In the IE event
model, no argument is passed, but the applicable Event object is
available as the event property of the Window
object that contains the element.
