JavaScript onmousenter Event

onmousenter:

The JavaScript onmouseenter method works when the mouse is moved over the element.

onmousenter vs onmouseover

Secondly, both onmouseenter and onmouseover fire when the mouse enters the boundary of an element. However, onmouseenter doesn’t fire again (does not bubble) if the mouse enters a child element within this first element.

Syntax:

.onmouseenter
