Forms - JavaScript: Novice to Ninja - page 258

The form.action property can be used to set the action attribute of a form, so that it
is sent to a different URL to be processed on the server:
form.action = "/alt/search"
Form Events
There are some events that are exclusive to forms.
The focus event occurs when the cursor is focused on that element. In the case of an input
element, this is when the cursor is placed inside the element (either by clicking on it or nav-
igating to it using the keyboard). To see an example, add the following code to scripts.js:
var input = form.elements.searchBox;
input.addEventListener('focus', function(){
alert("focused")},
↵ false);
Open search.htm in your browser and place the cursor inside the input field. You should
see an alert dialog similar to the one in the screenshot in Figure 8.1 .
