Has anyone heard of the OnMouseOn event?
If yes...
what is the difference between OnMouseOn and OnMouseOver?

Hi Jack,

Nope, and I just checked irt.org -- no match for the search. So, where did you see it? m$?

I think that it is an error. I think that someone is confusing it with OnMouseOver. Since you have an ON action and an OFF action in mouseovers.

Searching google came up with this page which it was an obvious error (you have to look at the source):

Of course, the page was done in FP so it maybe some MS stuff.

Yeah, I know the first one that came up was this one:
http://math.uwsuper.edu/~sb/101/JS/onmouse.html

The page title is:
onMouseOn onMouseOut
but
the header says this:
The onMouseOver and onMouseOut Events
the code also uses onMouseOver.

Somebody is confused. Just glad it ain't me.

Well, You know how Microsoft like to tinker with things, maybe they wanted another event?!?!!!

Detox, I think you've got it. Who knows maybe MS created the OnMouseOut event to upload Nimda to your IIs server. Something like:
OnMouseOut="load Nimda"
