<h1>Events</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
This demo will show you how to: add multiple Events to an Element, create custom Events and fire an Event.
</p>
<p>
In below textarea you can type whatever. Typing one of listed "Magic Words" will cause Event "burn" to fire and starting an effect (see js code)
</p>
<p>
Magic Words to type: <strong>hello</strong>, <strong>moo</strong>, <strong>pizza</strong>, <strong>burn</strong>, <strong>delayed</strong> (this last one will fire after 1 second).

<h1>Custom Events</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
With MooTools it is easy to define often used actions as custom events for elements.
This is especially useful for input-elements. This demo shows you how to define
a custom event, that only fires when you press the Enter-Button inside the given element.
</p>
<input type="text" id="myElement" name="myElement" value="Press enter here" />
<div class="help floated">
<strong>Why?</strong> Custom events are really useful when the standard
events are just not enough. See the Mouseenter-Demo for a more advanced
example.
</div>
<div id="myDivElement"></div>
<h2>Mousewheel-Event</h2>
<p>
The mousewheel event is a custom MooTools-Event, which allows you to use the
scrollwheel as an event, because every browser handles it differently. Try to
use your mousewheel over the element below.
</p>
<div id="myScrollElement"><div></div></div>
<div id="myOtherDivElement"></div>
</body>
</html>
