default event handlers   

Remember when trident was first introduced? There was a naming
convention for jscript functions in MSIE that attached the function to
an element as an event handler. Something like
<span id="stan">scan</span>
<script language="jscript">
fuction stan_onmouseenter(){
   document.getElementById("stan").innerText = "sean";
}
</script>
I don't imagine this feature has gone away, but the underscore isn't
working and I've forgotten what the convention was. Nor can I find any
documentation for it.
Does anyone remember this?
Thanks!

This naming convention works for VBScript, but not for JScript. As far 
as I can tell, it never worked for JScript.

You have a number of options in JavaScript

<script for="stan" event="onmouseenter">
    doSomething();
</script>

// or

stan.onmouseenter = function() {doSomething();};

// or

stan.attachEvent("onmouseenter", function() {doSomething();});

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to 
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly 
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Igor,
   Thanks! I'm trying to work around another issue with this. I'll try
the vbscript. (and I meant to write 'function'.)

In vbscript, it needs to be a sub.

Actual JScript (in IE and WSH as well) supports Object::Eventname comparable 
to Object_Eventname of VBScript.

Re: default event handlers   

May be you can still do this.

function stan::onmouseenter(){
   document.getElementById("stan").innerText = "sean";
}


***************************

Drawback to using this style on your page is,
that "they" think you are smart, and from then on
you can forget about deals and trading.

Or peer answers.

***************************

They will suddenly all want money,
even for software that does not work
as specified in the first place.

Os vendors no exception

So if you stick out, or your site does not look
as pathetic as theirs does, the Motor Vehicle,
