Netscape 4
Synopsis
window.releaseEvents(eventmask) document.releaseEvents(eventmask) layer.releaseEvents(eventmask)Arguments
eventmask
An integer that specifies the type of events that the window,
document, or layer should stop capturing. This value should be one of
the static event type constants defined by the Event class, or it
should be a group of event type constants combined with the
bitwise-OR (|) or addition operator.
Description
The releaseEvents( ) method of the Window,
Document, and Layer objects performs the opposite action of the
captureEvents( ) method of those classes. In the
Netscape 4 event model, releaseEvents( ) specifies
that the window,
document, or
layer should no longer capture events of
the types specified by eventmask. See the
"Event.TYPE" reference page for a list of the constants
that can be used in the eventmask
argument.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
