If I have
<div onMouseOut="someFunction();">
<p>A block of text.</p>
</div>
then in Mozilla M18 (Linux) someFunction gets triggered when the mouse
passes over the child paragraph. Is that really the correct behaviour?
It strikes me as counterintuitive because the child paragraph is
contained within the div and so the mouse hasn't left the div, if you
get my drift.
Is it Mozilla or my intuitions which are askew?
TIA,
Darren
