Subject: wish: document how to trigger events
Often times JavaScript is triggered from an event, like clicking on something. It would be great if there was clearer documentation how to trigger events. I search the docs for "event" and "click" and couldn't find documentation which seemed to cover this. Mark

Thank you for your suggestion. Events are not specific to JavaScript. You could theoretically have multiple scripting languages registering event handlers, in which case you would want them all to run. The documentation could go in WWW::Scripter. Considering all that, do you still think it would be useful to add it to the JS plugin’s docs? If we add it to WWW::Scripter (we could put it in both), where do you think it should go? The man page is getting long and is starting to become incoherent. (I’m not very good at managing large docs.) Maybe we need some kind of tutorial, but I know the innards too well to write it in a manner understandable to others. What do you think?

Sounds good. Show quoted text

Either location would work for me. Show quoted text

Perhaps in or near the "SCRIPT HANDLERS" section: http://search.cpan.org/~sprout/WWW-Scripter-0.008/lib/WWW/Scripter.pod#SCRIPT_HANDLERS Show quoted text

So far I found the docs to be OK. Mark

I’ve added a new section to WWW::Scripter 0.009.
