Where's the list of button.Attributes as used in this previous thread? 1

See this thread below:

It was the one about turning the mouse pointer into an hourglass. The solution was to access the Attributes of the button, so that when it was clicked ("onclick&quot, an hourglass would appear. Like this:

myButton.Attributes("onclick&quot = "javascript: hourglass();"

My question is, where is the list of Attributes for any given control? I cannot find it anywhere, and since they are referenced as strings, I am dubious as to whether they are supported properly given that VB is now object oriented...
I am just really curious as to what magic can be done by referencing attributes for controls

That is simply adding a client side attribute to the button. Therefore, any valid client side attribute:

onClick - onFocus - onKeyUp - onKeyDown - etc...

would be valid for putting in there. Actually, you could probably add things like "onChris" if you wanted to, w/o any error message... just that it wouldn't do anything, since the resulting button would look like this:

<input type=submit onChris=&quot;chris();&quot; ... >

And since there's no chris event for buttons, it just wouldn't do anything. You can check out

for a full listing of valid events for the various client side html objects.
