The method provides a user interface having an event pane, action pane and code pane. A user selects an event icon in the event pane to link that event to a desired action in the action pane. The code that is generated in the code pane can be displayed in either a list view or a code view. In the list view, the event handler is presented to the user in simple, concise statements that are easy for the user to understand. In the code view, the actual event handler code in either VBScript or JavaScript languages is presented to the user.
