Events in enclosed tags

[Beginner1]

Hi,

I have an popup menu on mouesover and mouseout for table <td> tag. It was working OK while I didn't add a link in this <td>. Now I have problems.

It seems that event is sent for both for td and link.

<code>
<td onmouseover=popup("Some text"); onmouseout=exit();>
<a>MY LINK</a>
</td>

When my mouse is over <td> popup() works, if it moves over link (in same td) exit works and then again popup. My Problem is that sometimes the exit() function works before popup() and I the popup window is stuked.

Can you help me to get over this???

Why don't you try putting the onmouseover in the <a> tag instead?

For IExplorer you can use onmouseenter event, or write a function and set window.event.cancelBubble = true.
For other browsers, you should call event.stopPropagation() from within the event handler function.
