Q: 

capture dropdown/comboboxes mouseout events on document

I have a document where I'm listing to mouse out events on the document.

This is working great, and I'm able to do a lot of determination that cancels the mouseout event in specific scenarios, but for events that seem to fire when the mouse hovers over the choices in a dropdown/combobox.

Basically, I need to detect the event of moving over the dropdown to cancel a timer that starts on mouseout off the document.

Any hints on the detection of moving of the selection area?

much thanks, Tim
