46536 - JS event not defined

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Dave]

On the above page I get the following error with 2000072608/Linux

JavaScript error: 
http://carpoint.msn.com/Vip/Gallery/Toyota/Camry%20Solara/4.asp line 58: event
is not defined

I don't get any errors with NS4.7 or IE5.01

The error seems to occur in functions like this one, which is fired by 
mouseover events:

function mOvr(src,clrOver) {
     if (!src.contains(event.fromElement)) { 
          src.style.cursor = 'hand'; src.bgColor = clrOver;
     }
}


The JavaScript error is centered on the object above called "event". 
I do not see myself where it is defined in the script. Is this a
Microsoft DOM element? Referring to the DOM group for further triage -

Reassigning to joki for futher investigation.

If I remember correctly, "hand" is not a valid cursor style...but this error is
about events...

event AKA window.event is IE's way of referencing events.  This does not work in
Mozilla or Navigator. In addition, Element.contains is an IE specific function.
 I don't think the is valid.

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

Agreed, I do not see window.event to be a real event in NS JS, nor is it defined 
by DOM. Marking invalid.

If you think this decision is wrong, please state your case and present 
additional evidence. (Heh, that sounds like we are in court.)
