Event handler for Layer, Link
The onMouseOver event handler is used to execute specified
Javascript code whenever the user moves the mouse over an area or object
from outside that area or object. If used with an Area
object, that object must include the HREF attribute within the AREA
tag. And if you want to set the status or defaultStatus
properties using the onMouseOver event handler, you must return
true within the event handler. OnMouseOver uses the following
properties of the Event object:
type - indicates the type of event.
target - indicates the target object to which the event was sent.
layerX, layerY, pageX, pageY, screenX, screenY
indicate the cursor location at the time of the MouseOver
event.
The following example creates an Image
object. When the user moves the mouse over that image from outside of
it, the onMouseOver event handler changes the picture displayed
by calling the 'changeImage' function which (not listed) alters the
src property of the Image
object.
Code:
<IMG name="myImage" SRC="Images/myPic.jpg" onMouseOver="changeImage()">
