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.
