Help with onmouseout and layers, please.

Sugapablo

I have a DIV that becomes visible when a link above it is moused over.

The DIV has links in it like so:

<div class="popup" onmouseout="hid eLayer(this);">
<a class="popuplin k" href="page1.htm l">Link 1</a><br/>
<a class="popuplin k" href="page2.htm l">Link 2</a><br/>
<a class="popuplin k" href="page3.htm l">Link 3</a><br/>
<a class="popuplin k" href="page4.htm l">Link 4</a><br/>
</div>

When you mouse out of the div, it goes back into hidden. But as soon as I
touch any of the links, it hides, thinking I've left the DIV.

Now, I'm assuming this is a z-index layer issue, but I've tried every
combination of things I could think of to prevent the mouseout action when
mouseing over one of the links.

I tried setting div.popup's z-index higher than a.popuplink's, lower than
a.popuplinks, and the same as. (I did set each to a position as well.)

What am I missing?

z-indeces have nothing to do with it. When the mouse enters the <a> element,
the onmouseout event handler of the parent <div> element is called like it
should. You don't show us your code, but I presume that is how you have set
up things: an onmouseout event handler for that div. So check in the
handling function if the calling element is a child of your popping div, and
if it is, leave the div alone, only proceed when the current element in not
in the div. Be warned there may be other elements inside an <a>, an <i> for
example, so a simple look at at the element's parentNode will not do.
Instead loop through the parentNodes until you hit either the <div> (give it
an id for easy recognition) or the <body> in which case you can safely
proceed with with hiding.

How would I do that? is the child element "calling" anything for me to
tell the handling function?
