firing an onMouseOver event

[link9]

without someone actually putting their mouseover something --

Someone suggested to me to use .mouseover()

Can anyone confirm or deny the existence of that function, and if it's a denial, can you tell me what the command is to simulate this?

and if it's not too much trouble, maybe you can tell me the opposite one for mouseout(); --

thx

you should read the "event handling" faqs ... if there is a way to do what you want to, i think it is described in these faqs

link9,

I just found one way to do that and it works both in IE and NS :

if (event.type == 'mouseover') {
alert('This is a mouseover');
} else if (event.type == 'mouseout') {
alert('This is a mouseout');
}

Hope this helps ...
