setting onmouseout in javascript (not html)

[Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn]

Yes, transparent backgrounds, right?

Exactly. The LI element needs to change its background color on hover but
its content is dynamic (user-defined).

I still can't figure out which element(s) you want to report entering
and leaving. I'm sure it's there somewhere, but I would prefer a
simplified example/explanation.

Well, the LI element of course (as that is where I said the
attribute/listener was added to).

Okay, answer the above question and perhaps we can get somewhere. And
how is this a vacation for you?

Haven't you noticed? I like to work on (and hopefully solve) hard problems

I went to alt.html last year. What a dump.

ACK

Okay, and you are worried about the DIV because it has some parts
showing outside the LI's and some inside. If you must use transparent
backgrounds for the list and its items, adjust the styles so that the
DIV only shows through inside the LI's. As they contain paragraphs, I
assume that is do-able for this design. But I wanted an actual
example so I wouldn't have to make such assumptions.

Or use mouseenter/leave when supported (conveniently covers IE.)

I will *never* use that agent again.
