onmouseup

By Stephen Chapman, About.com

Definition: The onmouseup event is used to define actions to be taken when a mouse button is released (after it has been depressed). This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called onmouseup but if you do then you will not be able to detect mouse button release using this method.
Examples:
window.onmouseup=myFunction;
