pointerover | onpointerover event
Dispatched when a pointing device is moved into the hit test boundaries of an element. Also dispatched prior to a pointerdown event for devices that do not support hover.
Note As of Internet Explorer 11, the Microsoft vendor prefixed version of this event (MSPointerOver) is no longer supported. Instead, use the non-prefixed lowercase name, pointerover, which is better for standards compliance and future compatibility.
