{				// Information about the events 
				 // and what object fired them.

  var oNewOption = new Option(); 
  oNewOption.text = arg;
  oResults.add(oNewOption,0);
}

anomaly - unseen effects
This event may occur without runtimeStyle or its closely related currentStyle being updated:

e.g. drag-drop a CLASS=... Object into an Object that specially has JScript ondragend=...clearAttributes() ...

... leaves the Object appearing to have retained its original styles, margins, though the element itself, its style and said runtimeStyle and currentStyle, are either blank or already-inherited from its style-sheeted Object.... and its appearance does not agree with its various-time style specifications....
