onmouseout + layer

[Gu]

hi to all!
i have a strange behaviour when applying onmouseout to a layer. it is
not trigged when the pointer goes out of the _layer_ but when it goes
off the _text within_ the layer.
any idea?

The mouse can only be over exactly one node thus if you move the mouse
over a child node mouseout is fired on the parent node and mouseover on
the child node (and events bubble up so you can also see changes
happening inside of a container element at the container element's
onmouseout handler).

See

on how to handle that.
