You can't combine events - you simply have to call the same function for each if you want the same functionality, e.g:

onmouseover="someFunc(params);" onmouseout="someFunc(params);"

Hope this helps,

Have you tried something like this...

mycontrol.onmouseout = MyEventHandler();
mycontrol.onmouseover = mycontrol.onmouseout;

Should at least work if you're adding event handling using DOM...

I haven't tested it, but something like this should work. It has to be done as javascript, not as an attribute of the control tag itself.

mycontrol.onmouseover = mycontrol.onmouseout = myEventHandler;

Note that you do NOT use parens after the event handler name. If you do, the event handler will be called right away (it is a function call) and it's return value will be assigned as the event handler for the control. Not normally what you want.
