The Event Name for each Event Handler can be derived simply by removing the "on" prefix from the Event Handler. That is the Event Handler onevent becomes event. EG: onclick becomes click.

The "4I6" column is a binary string, where the left most bit is for NN4, the middle bit is IE4, and the rightmost bit is NS6. [Actually, I haven't stuck in the NS6 bit yet.]
