execute function only once

[nicc9]

hi, all.

i got this function that needs to be triggered onMouseOver.


however, the function keeps getting executed forever until one doesn't leave the onMouseOver spot.

is there a way to trigger a function onMouseOver without having it keep execute?

thanks, any help appreciated.

onmouseover triggers only once, on what are you using the onmouseover event?

Follwing code shows that it will only trigger once:

<div id="b" style="width:50px; height:50px; background:red;"></div>
<input type="text" id="output">
<script>
var i = 0;

document.getElementById("b").onmouseover = function(){
	document.getElementById("output").value = i++;
}
</script>

Perhaps mouseovers on descendant elements are triggering it.
