Your code has entered an event handling function. What to do?

Presuming you have a function defined and intended for handling a specific type of event:

function onEvent(e)
{
   // some code
}

Your function may have:

• An event object argument (in this case e) passed in as an argument to the function
• A this reference that points to something or other:
  • If the function was registered using the W3C DOM addEventListener() function then this will point to the element that was the source of the event (the triggering element).
  • If the function was registered with attachEvent() (IE) then the this parameter will point to the relevant Window object, rather than to the element triggering the event
