you must enable their handling, by calling/using the captureEvents() method of the object
Your source is almost certainly a poor translation of some originally english software book or user manual.
This (taken from provided link) is a short explanation of events in Netscape event system - I put it here 'cause needed to understand the whats and whys of my translation.
JavaScript applications in the Navigator are largely event-driven. Events are actions that occur usually as a result of something the user does. For example, clicking a button is an event, as is changing a text field or moving the mouse over a link. For your script to react to an event, you define event handlers, such as onChange and onClick.
Event handling changed significantly between Navigator 3.0 and Navigator 4.0. Navigator 4.0 added:
The event object, passed as an argument to each event handler and containing information about the event
Additional events, such as DragDrop and MouseDown
Event capturing to enable a window or document to capture an event before the target object (link, button, and so on) gets the event
For a good introduction to event handling in Navigator 4.0, see the article Getting Ready for JavaScript 1.2 Events in the online View Source magazine. In addition, the JavaScript technical notes contain information on programming events.
