Onmouseover in IE

[javalearnie]

I have having some trouble with getting this to work in IE, it works perfect in firefox.

Here is the code:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEvent=function(e,ev,f,c){if(e.addEventListener){e.addEventListener(ev,f,c);}else if(e.attachEvent){var r=e.attachEvent('on'+ev,f);return r;}else{e['on'+ev]=f;}};

function all(){
	document.write('SOMETHING HERE');

	function mouseover()
	{
 		alert('onmouseover');
	}

window.onmouseover = mouseover;
}

window.addEvent(window, "load", all, false);
</script>

Why doesn't it work in IE? Is there a way to do this that works in all browser?

Thanks!

How about document.onmouseover instead of window.onmouseover ?

[javalearnie]

Thanks again for the quick solution hexburner. It works

It actually didn't work.

I thought it worked at first but I accidently commented out the :
document.write('SOMETHING HERE');

thats why it worked, but when I un-commented the document.write it doesn't work.

Why is this causing a problem? its working in firefox.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Apparently, don't ask why, IE doesn't support document.onmouseover or document.onmouseout...

It seems the problem have to do something with the document.write, because when I comment that out it seems to be working.

I need to document.write to replace the current html/text on screen so it have be done onload.

Is there any alternative solution?

Thanks.

You can try document.body.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Some text here'));
