Unfortunately that is one of the events the iPhone does not support :(

Answer 2

This works in WebKit. If iPhone Safari supports the event internally, this may work.

// Assuming the element you want to simulate a mouseover event with is "theElement"
var mouseoverEvent = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
mouseoverEvent.initMouseEvent('mouseover');
theElement.dispatchEvent(mouseoverEvent);

Answer 3

Yes and no, the behavior is not the same as on a computer, see this list for what triggers mouseover on the iphone.
