Point and Click II

onMouseOver has been extended to a global event!

Discussion

Not much to say here, other than that the onMouseOver event usually associated with links and client-side images can be captured like the other new events; your handler function will receive control of the event before it's passed on to any other onMouseOver event handlers on the page. The target property of the Event object passed to your handler will tell you which screen object would ordinarily have gotten the event, and you can use routeEvent() to send the event on to the proper link or image map handler.
