Standard System Event Support

This content is outdated and is no longer being maintained. It is provided as a courtesy for individuals who are still using these technologies. This page may contain URLs that were valid when originally published, but now link to sites or pages that no longer exist.

Web Parts can be registered to receive notifications for standard system events triggered in the browser. Because the browser supports only a single callback function for events, it is better that Web Parts register for system events rather than try to provide an event handler directly. Support for system events varies depending on whether the browser type is Internet Explorer 5.5 or later or an HTML 3.2 or later browser.

The following table lists the events that are provided automatically by the Web Part infrastructure. The NamespaceURN property is "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:dhtml".
