windows.external call

Hi

I have a VC++ ui which has an HTML Container. I have several Javascript
functions that need to call functions in VC++ UI. For this , the
existing code is using a call "windows.external". What I am unable to
link is the fact that upon calling windows.external , why a C++ UI is
called and not something else.
I want to understand that if I call windows.external from a js, how is
the function call resolved.

Thanks
Sandeep

window.external is nothing specific to JavaScript but rather a property
in the MS IE browser object model:

The architecture behind that is explained here:

Thanks Martin, It does clear a lot of things. My premise of thinking
..external as a javascript specific thing was the problem.
