Name
HTMLElement.onmouseout — the handler invoked when mouse moves out of an element
Availability
JavaScript 1.2; HTML 4.0
Synopsis
<element
onmouseout="handler
" ... >element
.onmouseout
Description
The onmouseout
property of an HTMLElement object
specifies an event handler function that is invoked when the user
moves the mouse pointer out of the
element
.
The initial value of this property is a function that contains the
JavaScript statements specified by the onmouseout
attribute of the HTML tag that defined the object. When an event
handler function is defined by an HTML attribute, it is executed in
the scope of element
rather than in the
scope of the containing window.
In the Netscape 4 event model, the onmouseout
handler function is passed an Event object as an argument. In the IE
event model, no argument is passed, but the applicable Event object
is available as the event
property of the Window
object that contains the element
.
