how to call [object htmlDivElement]

Question

hi,

i want to call the functions movein(this) & moveout(this) directly with out using onmouseover or onmouseout by the way (this) is [object htmlDivElement]

  var tb = '<div id="' + o.id + '" onmouseover="movein(this);" onmouseout="moveout(this);"><div><table>\n';

Answer 1

Tried movein(document.getElementById(o.id)) & moveout(document.getElementById(o.id)) ?

Answer 2

Using event delegation may be an option for you, see my answer to this question. Using event delegation, you define a mouseover/-out handler on the table and let the handler decide if and what action has to be taken.
