I believe a lot of the popular Javascript libraries out there offer mouseenter/mouseleave support (including mine). The point of this post was more to make developers aware of it -- aware that it was an IE-only event and that it could be simulated in other browsers. Think of it as mostly a blog post aimed at helping developers learn. @Neil:

Cheers Hi

Might be the simplest way around though to be honest, i've not looked into it to check it fully though in my experience, mootools is usually very reliable.

It's fixed. Thanks. No doubt the result of copying/pasting from various versions of the functions when I wrote the post. FYI, mouseenter/mouseleave support is built into my addEvent method, which is available for download here: <a href = "http://blog.stchur.com/blogcode/ultimate_addevent/ultimate.zip" rel="nofollow">http://blog.stchur.com/blogcode/ultimate_addevent/ultimate.zip</a> @Jaap:

Please fix them for future reference if possible. There are some typo's in the code in the original article (mainly with _fn being called f or _pFn).

It will not work if the elements merely appear to contain one another (via CSS styling or something). But if you actually have a hierarchy of nested elements, then this solution should work.
