onmouseout Event

Example

Execute a JavaScript when moving the mouse pointer out of an image:

<img onmouseout="normalImg(this)" src="smiley.gif" alt="Smiley">
Try it Yourself »

More examples below.


Definition and Usage

The onmouseout event occurs when the mouse pointer moves out of an element.

The onmouseout event is often used together with the onmouseover event, which occurs when the pointer is moved over an element.

Theonmouseout event is similar to the onmouseleave event. The difference is that the onmouseleave event does not bubble (does not propagate up the document hierarchy). See "More Examples" at the bottom of this page to better understand the differences.
