Initiates when a form filler presses the
mouse button at the same time that the pointer is within a field.
Note:
When a
mouseDown
event initiates
for a text or numeric field, calculations or scripts run immediately.
However, the value of the field does not change in response to calculations
and scripts until the field loses focus. When a
mouseDown
event initiates
for a signature field, the event initiates before the signature
process begins.

Example
You
can use this event to perform an action as a direct response to
a form filler clicking a button, or selecting a radio button or
check box on a form. For example, you can use the
mouseDown
event
for a check box to hide and show a field on the form. This event
is conceptually similar to the
click
event and
has a similar purpose.
