>Roundabout way of getting access to the event object although I'm not 100% sure this still works if you're running in IE 11 mode which uses the standard DOM event system. I pulled this code out of Help Builder 4 years ago and never looked back at that support train wreck :-)

It truly is, as we'd say, "around the dog then through the little door" way of getting at it, but it works and exposes the properties I need. I'll give it a try.
