dynamically adding onmouseup to body

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 13.2002

Hi,

I want to add an onMouseUp-Event to the body tag. (IE 5.x)
It is important for me, that this is not done in the html-file but in an js file. I tried to do something like this:

var body = document.getElementsByTagName(“body”)[0];
body.onMouseUp = myOnMouseUp;

where myOnMouseUp is a valid function.
This works fine with the event onMouseDown but not with onMouseUp (with Netscape-Navigator it works but not with IE5.x)… can you help me or explain why?

Thx in advance

Ulukai

@ShrineDesignsDec 13.2002 — this will probably do it

var myBody = document.getElementById('isBody');

myBody.onMouseUp = myOnMouseUp;

you should you onFocus or onBlur

the body doesn't have a onMouse or a onClick event

when you add [0] to the body element it getting the first element in the body array

if (!document.all)

{document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEUP);}

document.onmouseup = myUp;

function myUp() {

alert("Up!");

}[/font]

Tested in IE 5.5, NS 4.8 and NS 6.2.

As I looked over my code, I discovered the real error, the problem is solved now.
