onmouseleave Event

❮ DOM Events ❮ MouseEvent

Example

Execute a JavaScript when moving the mouse pointer out of an image:

<img onmouseleave="normalImg(this)" src="smiley.gif" alt="Smiley">
Try it Yourself »

More "Try it Yourself" examples below.


Definition and Usage

The onmouseleave event occurs when the mouse pointer is moved out of an element.

Tip: This event is often used together with the onmouseenter event, which occurs when the mouse pointer is moved onto an element.

Tip: The onmouseleave event is similar to the onmouseout event. The only difference is that the onmouseleave event does not bubble (does not propagate up the document hierarchy). See "More Examples" at the bottom of this page to better understand the differences.


Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the event.

Try it Yourself »

Note: The addEventListener() method is not supported in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions.

<div onmouseleave="myLeaveFunction()">
  <p id="demo2">I will demonstrate onmouseleave!</p>
</div>

<div onmouseout="myOutFunction()">
  <p id="demo3">I will demonstrate onmouseout!</p>
</div>
