Right. That's what I'd expect. The mouseout (and mouseover) events "bubble" up through child DOM nodes, and often fire at odd times, which is why it you should use the "mouseenter" and "mouseleave" events. The enter and leave events are specially built to not bubble (at least not unexpectedly).
I do see what you mean by the mouseleave firing more than once in some cases. No idea why. Do you have a particular page that isn't working?
