Chris, Without getting too technical: 1 - event is the event triggered on the page by a handler, such as an onclick, onmouseover, onkeypress etc. 2 - the srcElement is the element where the event originated. It could be the body, a button or even a div tag. 3 - innerText: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/ifaces/ihtmlelement/innertext.asp> Watch the wrap. If I had: <div id="foo"><p>Hello World!</p></div> innerText would grab "Hello World!" but not the P tag. (IIRC). innerText is NOT well supported thus not often used. You see innerHTML more often, which is quite nice and works in modern NS.
