OnMouseOver / OnMouseOut event for custom control

[jasonsalas]

Hi everyone,

I've got a composite custom contyrol I built that displays data in a normal <MARQUEE> tag. I'm trying to pause the scrolling of the tag's text by using the <MARQUEE>'s Start() and Stop() methods, like so:

<marquee id=&quot;ticker&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;ticker.Stop();&quot; onMouseOut=&quot;ticker.Start();&quot;>
....some generic content...
</marquee>

However, when I try and plug this into my custom control, I get a JavaScript error that says &quot;Object doesn't support this property or method.&quot; Is this an example of a need for me to attach and/or handle an event, even though OnMouseOver nd OnMouseOut are inherent (or so I thought)?

Thanks!

All the examples I see don't capitalize the .start and .stop methods. That may be your problem.

Then, I'd probably use &quot;this.start()&quot; and &quot;this.stop()&quot;
