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.
