hi ...

that are no standard-event-handlers:

onmouseleave -> onmouseout
ondeactivate ?? what should that do?
onfocusout -> onblur

use the correct event-handlers

kind regards

these events exists. please refer to.
http://msdn2.microsoft .com/en-us/library/ms535240.aspx#

Secondly they are working fine in IE as prescribed in msdn.

if i consider your piont.
what event should i use for hiding a div once mouse leaves the div.
remeber "onmouseout " doesnt work cuz the div contains child controls and when mouse comes over child controls(button s) the "onmouseout " of div fires too which i dont want too.

waiting for the reply.

i said that they are not 'STANDARD'-event-handlers (in words of standard-compliant) ... when you use IE you are using jscript ... and in case you already know where you find the documentation ... then you may refer for yourself ... trying to find out what standards compliant browsers do with that IE-specifics ... you will never find out on msdn ... except you need IE-specific information ...

those events are not used by any other browser ... and so your code will not work ...

well ok
but what can be the possible solution to my problem??
is there no STANDARD event firing on mouse leaving from div??

i think ... you may use a seldefined mouseleave-function that you call on mouseout ... it retrieves the mousepos and when it is inside the div you avoid things that you only want to be done when you get out of the div ...

Use standard javascript, as stated. Don't refer to Microsoft documentation if you want your code to work in all browsers.

I understand that.
but is there any solution to my problem in standard javascript.
I want to hide a DIV on mouseout .
Please reply with the solution in standard javascript
