Description
Theonmouseup attribute is the counterpart to the
onmousedown attribute and triggers an event when
the user releases the mouse button while over the element to which the
attribute is applied. Just as onmousedown is not
greatly used, so is its partner in crime
onmouseup.Value
There is no fixed value - it is up to
the author/developer what scripting goes in here, be that a call to one or
more defined functions or a simple alert() statement.
