Setting up user-triggered actions


    User-triggered actions occur when a user interacts with some item on the page such as an image, rollover, text, or form element.

    Note: In Netscape Navigator 5 and earlier and Internet Explorer 4 and earlier, actions added to images without rollover states, and objects other than form objects and rollovers, require you to add a link to the text or object and select a mouse or key event to trigger the action.
