This example shows how to fire the onlosecapture event. When the user clicks the mouse, the releaseCapture method is invoked and subsequently fires the onlosecapture event.
<BODY onload="divOwnCapture.setCapture()" onclick="divOwnCapture.releaseCapture();"> <DIV ID=divOwnCapture onmousemove="txtWriteLocation.value=event.clientX + event.clientY"; onlosecapture="alert(event.srcElement.id + ' lost mouse capture.')"> <P>Mouse capture has been set to this gray division (DIV) at load time using the setCapture method. The text area will track the mousemove event anywhere in the document.<BR><BR> <TEXTAREA ID=txtWriteLocation COLS=2></TEXTAREA> </DIV> <HR> <DIV ID=divNoCapture> <P>Click anywhere on the document to invoke the releaseCapture method, whereby the onlosecapture event will fire.</P> </DIV> </BODY> Notes

Sends the event notification to the object that is losing the mouse capture. To invoke this event, do one of the following:
