Hi,

All the one can capture events on a global level (window, document and layer),
it seems that you can only capture events that are defined for an element. After
some research and utilizing "Javascript: The Complete Reference", the only
objects that capture doubleclick are document, link, image, and button elements.

SELECT events are: onChange, onMouseOver, onMouseOut, onBlur and onFocus.

I have included an example from the above reference that illustrates all
captured events, try it out it is very informative.

Hetal,

Going by Netscapes documentation on Javascript
(http://developer.netscape.com/docs/communicator/jsref/index.htm), I think
the doubleClick event is captured only by the 'document' object. So my guess
is that if you write a function myDblClickHandler() that checks for
event.target = document.pgTest.listBox
and then does
document.pgTest.elements[1].click()
and inside the <BODY ..> tag put "onDblClick=myDblClickHandler()" that
should work.

By putting an Alert(..) you can verify that the dblClick event is not being
captured for the listbox.
