event.clientX Error!!! Pls Help

[Bernini]

Hi all

I have the following very simple function:

function OutMenuItem()
{
  var mX = event.clientX;
  alert (mX);
}

This function is called on the onmouseout event of a div by using:

onmouseout="setTimeout('OutMenuItem();', 500);"

When i run the script an error Object Required is shown before the alert function!

Does anyone have a any clue!?

Thanks
B

Because the event doesn't exist anymore after the half-second you wait. Try this:

function OutMenuItem(mX)
{
  alert (mX);
}

onmouseout="setTimeout('OutMenuItem('+event.clientX+');', 500);"
