DOM Level 0

25.200.1. Synopsis

Function onmouseover

25.200.2. Description

The onmouseover property of a Link object specifies an event-handler function that is invoked when the user moves the mouse over a hypertext link. When the user holds the mouse over a hyperlink, the browser displays the URL for that link in the status line. In older browsers, it is possible to prevent this default action and display your own text in the status line. For security reasons (to help prevent phishing attacks, for example) most modern browsers have disabled this capability.
