slow response in table cells <TD> to mouseover with IE6 but fine inFirefox.

I'm a relatively slow response of table cells changing their
background color with mouseover/our in IE6 (Win 2K) but the response
is fine (fast) in Firefox. Why? The code is below. Sorry about the
length.

*************** *************** *************** *************** ***********
Distinguishing onmouseover/out of child elements from those of the
parent element.

Mouseover fires first but mouseout fires when the mouse moves over
the child (DIV) element. The problem is not just about bubbling,
because when you move the mouse over the DIV, you are not moving out
of anything contained in the table cell (TD) nor are you moving out
of the area contained by the TD. A mouseout event fires simply
because a mouseover event fires for another element.

See: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1606
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_mouse.html
http://www.dynamic-tools.net/toolbox...eLeaveOrEnter/

Also, the try/catch blocks handle a related version of the

"Permission denied to get property HTMLDivElement. parentNode"

bug in Firefox/Mozilla. Moving the mouse cursor fast enough from the
grid over the textarea will cause this bug to occur.

yukabuk, I need to test this also on very old computers like 500 Mhz /
256 MB systems. I'm see a big difference on the same system in how
fast Firefox and IE respond to moving the cursor over the tables
cells. IE is quite slow, I'm wondering why and what can be done about
it.

Thanks.
