Event Delegates

Easier, faster, scalable and cross-browser

No "onload" event is used to bootstrap the funcionality of the elements in this page.

focus/blur events are captured/delegated on these INPUTs of type "text"

click and mouseover/mousout events are captured/delegated on TDs and LIs,
some mouseover is dispatched programatically at "onload" to show this feature.
