Hi,
Thank for your code. It is still helpful for browsers except for IE.

I changed your code just a little bit because I want to use a function rather than code text as dispatch routine.

1. function definition
function fixOnMouseOut(element, event, JavaScript_code)
=>
function fixOnMouseOut(element, event, eventHandler)

2. evaluate dispatch
eval(JavaScript_code);
=>
eventHandler(event);

It works well for me (Safari).
How can I treat your header comments?

Hi Kyle, thanks for the comment, this post is 4 years old, this was one of my forum posts on my old forums that I got rid of around 2 years ago…

Hello,

I saw this and it seemed like overkill, so I looked for something else.

It turns out that you can use onmouseenter and onmouseleave instead of onmouseover and onmouseout. Problem solved.
