How to get Mouseover to work with elements inside Div tags in IE?

[apurvaG]

Hi All,

I am applying some xslt template on a XML file to generate the HTML.

This HTML has several <DIV> tags with mouseover and mouseout event associated to them.

So if i do mouseover on a <DIV> it gets highlighted. And when I do mousout on a <DIV> highlight effect goes off.

Its is working perfectly if the DIV has plain text. For example <DIV>This is some text inside a div</DIV>.

But if the <DIV> contains some HTML tags like <a> <UL> <OL> <P> then it flickers alot when I do the mouseover.

Can anyone know how to avoid this flickering effect.

Thanks in Advance,
ApurvaG

FOUC?
Otherwise need to see the complete markup.

my guess is that you generate a mouseout-event when your mouse passes an another tag within. what you can do is give all blockelements(l ike the ones you said) the same events as the div.

Use mouseenter and mouseleave instead of mousout ..
