problem with Button behaviour

[Christoph]

Hi

I have different images which i use to simulate a button behaviour.
This looks as follows:

if (document.image s)
{
toc1over = new Image(31,54);
toc1over.src = "b go focus.bmp";
toc1down= new Image(31,54);
toc1down.src= "b go down.bmp";
}

function rollPress(imNam e,down) {
if (down) { document.images[imName].src = toc1down.src }
else { document.images[imName].src = toc1over.src }
}
<img src="b go focus.bmp" class="setact_b utton" name="toc1"
onMouseDown = "rollPress('toc 1',true)"
onMouseOut = "rollPress('toc 1',false)"
onMouseUp = "rollPress('toc 1',false)"
onclick="javasc ript:alert('tes t');">

It works quite fine, but there is a small "problem". Lets say I move
over the button and the i press the mouse button and hold it. As
required the onmousedown event is triggered. If i continue to told the
mouse button down and I move out of the range of the button the
onmouseout event is NOT triggered. Can anybody tell me how the
onmouseout event is triggered although the mouse button is pressed?
Would be very thankful for that!

Best Regards
Christoph

of course ! if you forget to leave the mouse !

mouseover and mouseout fires while flying over limits
during your mousedown the browser doesn't look to mousemoving (mouseout)

usually : onmousedown+onm ouseup
don't like to work with onclick ... which is same

what does a mousedown ? certainly not a mouseout ...
