I thought you were a programmer?
Everything between <H2> and </H2> is an area on the screen, more
to the point a peice of text so high and so bold. You can move your
mouse over it. If you click the text, you HAVE CLICKED IT. It's clickable.
It's not like Windows or whatever is flagging up a little "no-go" cursor.
DON'T CLICK THERE YOU MORON! IT'S *NOT* A *LINK*!!!!! :P
Basically anything you can click a mouse onto can have a click event.
It gets useful when you use <span> etc. and want to - say - actually
drag that peice of text around.

And your point is? He's using Javascript and event handlers. That's
DHTML. Why would I need to find an HTML version? That'd just be
stupid. You say "But" like you're refuting what I'm saying? Did you
read it right or not? :P
