Changing an event

[Wojtek]

I have the following:

<tr onMouseOver="alert('Over a row')">

and I want to modify the event to be:

<tr onMouseOver="alert('Over THIS row')">

in other words reaching into the event, and changing some part of it.

I have tried walking through the attributes of the <truntil I reach
the onMouseOver, then changing its value, but that throws an error.

If you have the tr element object use
tr.onmouseover = function (evt) {
alert('Over THIS row');
};

tr.onmouseover = function (evt) {
alert('Over THIS row');
};

I cannot make this work. I still get an object error at that line, and
the original alert text is shown.

browser is IE 6. I tried it with the evt parameter and no parameter

Post your code. Did you define tr?
