<form>

To test tree of knowledge

<input type="text" name="data" size=30 onFocus="window.status='this is a Test of onFocus'; return true">

<input type="button" value="clickit!" onClick="top.dosomething('This is a Test of onClick')" >

</form>

This shows a couple of simple form elements with onFocus and onClick illustrated

window.status is property holding message at bottom of browser window

One would typically have onChange handler as well in text field. Note that with these handlers one does NOT need server side CGI script to process form
