Multiple Statements in Event Handlers

You are not limited to just one executable statement as the value of an event handler. You can excecute additional statements by separating them with semicolons ;.

For example:

<img src="smiley.gif" onClick="var user = prompt('Who are you?');alert('Hi ' + user + '!');document.bgColor='red'" />

The final statement does not need to be followed by a semicolon, but there is no penalty for doing so.
