Topic awaiting preservation: Combine onmouseover

Is there anyway to combine these two into one tag?

onmouseover="return overlib('Description');" onmouseout="return nd();"



onmouseover="window.status='Description'; return true"

If you are trying to do what I think you are trying to do, then yes.

onmouseover="return overlib(...); window.status='Description'; return true;" onmouseout="return nd();"

just seperate each statement with a semicolon (

Well, you can't return two things in the same function; after something is returned, the function ends. Try

onmouseover="window.status='Description'; return overlib(...);" onmouseout="return nd();"

Though that may change the logic of what's happening. If overlib() returns false, then the window.status won't change.

Good point.. I didnt look into it that far

Perhaps you could say something like onmouseover="custom_function();" and just put all you need to do in the customer_function()... the overlib, window status and such...

Edit note: I meant onmouseover="return custom_function();"

yeah, that was my take on it...

onmouseover="window.status='Description';  return overlib('Description')  && return nd();"

-- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.

hyperbole: the syntax of your code is correct but it doesn't do what Kriek asked.
the return nd(); is in a onmouseout not in the onmouseover.

Slime: Your code is correct and fits what Kriek asked. Just one point, I was sure only at 99% but just checked ( in IE6.0 and MZ1.1b ), and the value returned by the function has NO effect on that's before ( i.e. the window.status='Description' )
In fact the return value tells the browser if yes or not it should stop to process the event on the current element.

[edit]
exemple:
<a href="my url" onmouseover="window.status='something else';return true">my A tag</a>

like that, onmouseover you see 'something else', but if you return false you'll see 'my url'

Hope the things are more clear for every one.
