To invoke
Click the left mouse button twice in rapid succession over an object. The user's double-click must occur within the time limit specified by the user's system.
Default action

Event Object Properties
Although event handlers in the DHTML Object Model do not receive parameters directly, a handler can query an event object for data.
Sets or retrieves the x-coordinate of the mouse pointer's position relative to the client area of the window, excluding window decorations and scroll bars.
Sets or retrieves the y-coordinate of the mouse pointer's position relative to the client area of the window, excluding window decorations and scroll bars.
Sets or retrieves the y-coordinate, in pixels, of the mouse pointer's position relative to a relatively positioned parent element.
Remarks
The order of events leading to the ondblclick event is onmousedown, onmouseup, onclick, onmouseup, and then ondblclick. Actions associated with any of these events are executed when the ondblclick event fires.
Example
This example uses the ondblclick event to add items to a list box when the user double-clicks in the text box.
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function addItem()
{
sNewItem = new Option(txtEnter.value)
selList.add(sNewItem);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Enter text and then double-click in the text box to
add text to the list box.
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=txtEnter VALUE="Enter_text"
ondblclick="addItem()">
<SELECT NAME=selList SIZE=5></SELECT>
</BODY>
