<script type="text/javascript">

function initElement()
{
  var p = document.getElementById("foo");
  // NOTE: log(); or log(param); will NOT work here.
  // Must be a reference to a function name, not a function call.
  p.ondblclick = log;
};

function log()
{
  console.log("ondblclick Event detected!")
}
</script>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#foo {
