second code snippet from the bottom

The last closing brace '}' should be removed. Thus, the code should be changed from:

window.onload = function() {
$("sandbox").innerHTML = "Click Here!<br />";
};
}

to

window.onload = function() {
$("sandbox").innerHTML = "Click Here!<br />";
};

First paragraph - demo code

Code as syntax errors.

should be:

function $(id) { return document.getElementById(id); }

window.onload = function() {
$("sandbox").innerHTML = "Click here!<br/>";
$("sandbox").onclick = function(ev) {

ev = ev || window.event;
$("sandbox").innerHTML = "Clicked at " + new Date() + ". Event: " ;

for (property in ev) {
var message = "Property " + property + ": " + ev[property] +
"<br/>";
$("sandbox").innerHTML += message;
}
};
}

Author's note: Readers can also refer to the corresponding code example in
http://ajaxify.com/tutorial/dynamic/tutorial.js - They will find at that
location the code as it should read.
