JavaScript 1.1
Synopsis
<a ... onmouseout="handler" ... ><area ... onmouseout="handler" ...
> link.onmouseout
Description
The onmouseout property of a Link object specifies
an event handler function that is invoked when the user moves the
mouse off a hypertext link. The initial value of this property is a
function that contains the JavaScript statements specified by the
onmouseout attribute of the
<a> or <area> tag
that defined the Link object. When an event handler function is
defined in this way 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 hypertext link.

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.
