oObject Object that specifies the event that fired.
The property is read-only with no default value.
Example
This example uses the srcElement property to retrieve the parent object, if needed, create the text range, move to the original object, and select the first word in the object.
Sample Code
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">
function selectWord() {
var oSource = window.event.srcElement ;
if (!oSource.isTextEdit)
oSource = window.event.srcElement.parentTextEdit;
if (oSource != null) {
var oTextRange = oSource.createTextRange();
oTextRange.moveToElementText(window.event.srcElement);
oTextRange.collapse();
oTextRange.expand("word");
oTextRange.select();
}
}
