http://www.frostjedi.com/terra/scrip...onmouseup.html
In Firefox, if I click in the black box and then release, I get a
popup. If I click, drag the cursor, and then release, I don't.
Similarly, if I click and then release outside of the black box, I
don't get a popup, and I don't understand why.
If I comment out "document.getElemenById("demo").onmousedown =
mousedown;", it works. Why would that make a difference?
Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

<body id="body">

<script type="text/javascript">

document.getElemenById("demo").onmousedown = mousedown;
function mouseup() {
alert("test");
}
function mousedown() {}
</script>
</body>

Your forgot a "t".

The ID is unnecessary. Probably someone has told you that before.
<div style="background: black; width: 50px; height: 50px" id="demo">
You should also define the foreground color, and declare everything in the
CSS rule for the `#demo' selector.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.body.onmouseup = mouseup;
document.getElemenById("demo").onmousedown = mousedown;
You should not be mixing proprietary and standards-compliant features (at
least not without feature test).
function mouseup() {
alert("test");
}
function mousedown() {}
Function expressions are widely supported nowadays, it does not appear
necessary to use function declarations here. Especially not when you
use the W3C DOM which AFAIK was not implemented by user agents that only
supported JavaScript versions before 1.2.

Yup - thanks to both you and Stevo for pointing that out!

Someone has. Note that I didn't actually reference it with a
getElementById call. I just copy / pasted the HTML (I don't have the
DOCTYPE memorized, for instance) and I guess there was a redundancy I
was unaware of. Kinda like having any id that you don't use - they
could all be deleted if you noticed them.

I think for a real live production website that's definitely a good
idea. The main point of CSS is to separate content from aesthetics -
to make it so you don't have to edit the HTML to alter the layout.
For a quick little thing like this, though, I'm not sure why it'd
matter? If you had a style tag you could even split the CSS rules for
#demo up into multiple groups which would make it a bit more difficult
for someone to see what you're doing, even though it might be more
concise...

For that matter, it seems like feature tests are probably worth while
for even standards-compliant code? Just because someones browser
supports JavaScript1.3 doesn't mean someone can't come along with a
browser only supporting JavaScript1.2.
function mouseup() {
* alert("test");
}
function mousedown() {}

I'll have to keep that in mind... thanks!

Decreasing maintenance effort.
If you had a style tag
Given that there is no such thing, what exactly do you consider a `style tag'?

which would make it a bit more difficult for someone to see what you're

Your reasoning is flawed. IDs must be unique in a document.

Yes, DOM standards may not be (fully) supported, and to every implementation
of them there has to be a proprietary beginning.
Just because someones browser supports JavaScript1.3 doesn't mean someone
can't come along with a browser only supporting JavaScript1.2.
You misunderstood. This is not a matter of the programming language, but of
the APIs used with it.

I made the change and it's still not working as expected. I add the
't' and get the same behavior as before. The only difference is that
an entry isn't added to the Error Log. And now, if I comment out
document.getElementById("demo"), it doesn't make a difference.
Clicking outside of the box still doesn't do anything.
Any ideas as to why?
Thanks!

You have just said Jehova[tm]:
<http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=w3schools.com&as_ugroup=comp.lang.java script&scoring=d&filter=0>
IOW, you have chosen a poor reference; I don't understand why it is still in
the FAQ, and I strongly recommend you find a better one. Contrary to what
it states, it attempts to describe the HTML `style' element instead, with
its `<style ...>' start tag and and `</style>' end tag, which enclose, of
course, its content.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.1>
Although there is surely no shortage of evidence for that there, that your
choice has been a poor one can easily be proven in this instance: this part
of the Web site describes `xml:space' as a "standard attribute" of the "HTML
<styletag". However, HTML is a application of SGML; an `xml:space'
attribute would require namespace support which only applications of XML can
provide. And in fact, it is an attribute of the *XHTML* (1.0) `style'
element, a completely different animal.
Rest assured that the documentation and example code that you can find there
are equally flawed.

The body's height happens to be much less than the size on the window
for that .html so that clicking under/below the box isn't cliking into
the body. Click at the right side next to the box... and it works.

You should use that only as a fallback for the standards compliant
document.documentElement.addEventListener("mouseup ", ...);
