If you are just using JavaScript then IE won't capture the externalEvent.
You will need to write a VBScript routine to capture the externalEvent and
then call your JavaScript externalEvent routine from the VBScript routine.
Here is Phillip Kerman talk on it that he gave at UCON99
http://www.teleport.com/~phillip/ucon99/presentation/index.htm
This should answer all your questions about talking to IE and Netscape using
externalEvents. The talk is based on Flash but the concept is the same,
using VBScript for IE and JavaScript for Netscape.
