Window captureEvents()
<![CDATA[
Syntax
window.captureEvents(event)
window.captureEvents(event1 | event2 | eventN)
The captureEvents() method captures all the events of the event type passed.
If you have multiple events to capture, separate them with the pipe, |, character.
The types of events that can be captured are as follows:
Event.ABORT
Event.BLUR
Event.CHANGE
Event.CLICK
Event.DBLCLICK
Event.DRAGDROP
Event.ERROR
Event.FOCUS
Event.KEYDOWN
Event.KEYPRESS
Event.KEYUP
Event.LOAD
Event.MOUSEDOWN
Event.MOUSEMOVE
Event.MOUSEOUT
Event.MOUSEOVER
Event.MOUSEUP
Event.MOVE
Event.RESET
Event.RESIZE
Event.SELECT
Event.SUBMIT
Event.UNLOAD
After an event has been captured, you can define a function to replace the built-in method for handling the event.
