This question is specific to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 +.
I have an input box that gets the focus when the page loads. Using a suggestion earlier here I have re-written the code better. At least I think so.
Anyway when the user clicks in the box (onmousedown) if they have visited the site in the past a drop down will appear showing previously entered information. If the drop down is longer then the box is wide then it seems onmouseout fires when the user picks an entry that lies outside of the Inbox. That's OK. If the user selects an entry in the dropdown then the information they selected appears in the Input box with the cursor at the end of the added information.
Now what state is the mouse in? There is no onclick; there really is no onmouseover; hence there is no onmouseout anymore. In fact what is the disposition of the mouse at this point? onmousemove is no longer applicable for the mouse doesn't need to be anywhere near the Inbox anymore. The reason I ask is because I need to enable another box once information is either typed in the first inbox or information is entered as I described above. And I'm having trouble determing what event is fired after info is put in as I described above. Thanks.

You should be using onchange to enable the other input element instead
of trying to hack things up with mouse events. If for some reason
onchange is not fired in this scenario, first, I would consider it a
bug because I expect it to be and, second, I'd workaround it by using
onpropertychang e.
onPropertyChang e="
if (event.property Name == 'value')
{
// enable input element
}
"

Hi Steve:
Well your first suggestion is how I did it. But I'll see if I can do it another way as you suggest. In the meantime it's working.

Hi,
Is it possible to detect if the IE autocomplete function in a current
context such as a textbox is activated (ie. dropdown with previously
entered info is visible)?
Problem:
I use a script as a basis for binding <enter> in textbox to a button,
BUT <enter> in the dropdown autocomplete generated by IE also triggers
this event.
The script is available below (in .NET context but the idea should

I track the mouse location like this code:
function mousePos(e) {
var p = new Object();
if(e) { p.x = e.pageX; p.y = e.pageY; }
else { p.x = event.x; p.y = event.y; }

}
document.onmousemove=mousePos;
Seems to do fine on many browsers.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
