JavaScript 1.2; HTML 4.0
Synopsis
<element onmouseover="handler" ... >element.onmouseover
Description
The onmouseover property of an HTMLElement object
specifies an event handler function that is invoked when the user
moves the mouse pointer over the element.
The initial value of this property is a function that contains the
JavaScript statements specified by the onmouseover
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 Netscape 4, the onmouseover handler function is
passed an Event object as an argument. In IE 4, no argument is
passed, but the applicable Event object is available as the
event property of the Window object that contains
the element.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
