Interface

• Event Lua API reference
• Event C++ manual

All properties and methods that are available for events are described in detail in the API reference. The event-specific interface is similar to the C++ interface, refer there for the full documentation.

Global variables

When an event is fired and captured by a Lua script, three global variables are set up in the context of the called function.

• element The element context in which the event fired.
• document The document in which the event fired.
• event The event object.

See usage details in attaching to events Lua documentation.
