Hi, I'm trying to reverse engineer/understand something.

If you saw this:

<a href="{url}"onfocus="this.fireEvent('onmouseover')" onmouseover="parent.CommonMethods_previewResultsHover(this, '{url}','position=cornertopright')">Text</a>

What would the code after the onmouseover in the href mean to you?

I *think* it is calling a script from the parent called "CommonMethods_previewResultsHover".

Am I close?

A complete nebie to Java so please try to answer while containing your mirth!

Thanks!

Ron

Yes it is calling a function called "CommonMethods_previewResultsHover" . "parent" I believe here refers to the parent window. It suggests that the link could be clicked on an iFrame (in a case where it doesn't have an iFrame it just refers to the current window object).
