Subj : Accessing an event via a window...

I'm attempting to write a piece of Mozilla Javascript, and it's in a
function that is NOT an event handler. The sad part is - I need access
to an event.

The only piece of info I have available in that function is the window
object. In IE, I can use the "window.event" convenience, and the rest
of the code flows nicely. Mozilla, however, doesn't seem to allow
access to the event register.

Is there any way to access an event when you are not in an event
handler? I cannot put this code in an event handler because it
operates on *any* browsed web page - I can't control what element will
raise the event.

Thanks,

Mike
