XML DOM timeStamp event attribute
Definition and usage
The timeStamp event property can return a timestamp. It indicates the date and time of the event (in milliseconds from epoch).
Epoch is an event reference point. Here, it is the time when the client starts.
Not all systems provide this information, so the timeStamp property is not available for all systems/events.
Syntax
event.timeStamp
Example
The following example can obtain the event timestamp since the system started:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showTimestamp(event)
{
var minutes = 1000*60
x=event.timeStamp;
alert(x/minutes)
}
</script>
</head>
<body onmousedown="showTimestamp(event)">
<p>Click in the document. An alert
the box will alert the timestamp.</p>
</body>
</html>
