A mouse hover, also called just hover, triggers an event
when a user places a mouse over a designated area, such as a hyperlink on a
Web page. The action of moving the mouse over the
item causes events such as pop-up windows or
description boxes. Hovers can be coded into Web pages using
DHTML, JavaScript
and other means. Usually, if the function uses JavaScript it is called a
mouseover.
