The events mouseover and mouseout are fired when the mouse enters/leaves the element where the event handlers are registered, and any nested elements which do not handle these events (because of event bubbling ). The events mouseenter and mouseleave are fired only when the mouse enters/leaves the specified element. Nested elements do not come into play. This following is a test page. You need Firebug to view the console output. Or use the JavaScript Executor bookmarklet. If none of these are available, an alert will popup (but you won't be able to fully test with alert.). <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>jQu... For the above test page, when you move the mouse through both the outer and inner areas of the mouseover/mouseout rectangle, the output is...

It's probably more useful to make the JavaScript executor a bookmarklet. That way it gains access to the page on which it is invoked. Therefore, more helpful while debugging. Here's the code: <html> <body> <a href="javascript:(funct... Or, you can add this link to your bookmarks, name it "JS Executor". For a full featured JavaScript console, you may need Jash

If you are looking for a solution for a progress bar, I direct you to the following resources: Bare Naked App provides a simple and elegant solution based on pure CSS with two images. You control the percentage of completion through the background-position attribute of the CSS. HTML: <img src="/images/percentImage.png" alt="... CSS: img.percentImage { background: white url(/imag... Images: (percentImage.png) (percentImage_back.png) WebAppers extended the above solution with JavaScript. They also added several colored images: JQuery UI has a built-in progress bar widget. However, if you want to get to understand some of the foobar needed to get CSS to work (in general) through this example, stay with me for the rest of this note. Initially I was thinking, a progress bar should be easy: just make...

An HTML form contains more than what meets the eye. This bookmarklet displays information about form fields in the page. When there are multiple forms on the page, successive invocations of the bookmarklet display each form in turn. Add this link to your bookmarks. Here's the code: <html> <body> <a href="javascript: i...

As a web developer, a lot of times I need to see the cookies in a page (and copy the value to another test program, sometimes). This is a bookmarklet to display the cookies. You may directly add this link to your bookmarks and name it "show cookies". It doesn't work in IE6 because of the JavaScript length limitations . However, you may try putting the script on a web server and importing it to the bookmarklet. <html> <body> <a href="javascript: i...
