Strategic help needed!!!

When does a click on an icon register as a click? When you push the mouse button down, or when you move your finger off of it? If you click on a link, the link does not open until you remove the pressure off the mouse - so the initial "press" doesn't count, does it - only when you release?

This is a serious question -

Thanks!

Only when you release.

to prove this:
click on a link and hold down the left mouse button.
while holding the button down move the mouse off of the link.
let go of the button.
...
nothing happens because the action registers over nothing instead of the link.

A full click is a press and release.

You can capture both events seperately, so neither action alone would qualify as a click, IMO.

So for JavaScript/HTML, onClick would work for you since it requires both actions. onMouseUp and onMouseDown are the subsequent actions.

onMouseOut = moving the mouse cursor away from the object. It has nothing to do with clicking.
