The detachEvent Method

The detachEvent Method

You use the detachEvent method to detach an event handler from an event; this method is the complement function to attacheEvent (see earlier in this chapter). You can see the support for this method in Table 6.16.

Table 6.16. The detachEvent Method

Method	NS2	NS3	NS4	NS6	IE3a	IE3b	IE4	IE5	IE5.5	IE6
detachEvent( event , handlerFunction )								x	x	x
	Returns: Boolean

Like the attacheEvent method, you pass the detachEvent method the event (in quotes) you want to detach and the handler function to detach (not in quotes). See the attacheEvent method for more information.
