Example

The following example, which appears embedded in the <head> section of an HTML document, displays a message to the user when the user positions the mouse over a <p> element containing the onmouseover="DisplayMessage" attribute in the current page.

  <head>
<title>onmouseover Example</title>
<script id=clientEventHandlersVBS language=vbscript>
<!--

Sub DisplayMessage
'Displays message to user

    MsgBox "This message is displayed when the user positions the mouse over the <p> element in the current document."

End Sub

-->
</script>
</head>

The <p> section code below calls the DisplayMessage procedure located in the <head> section of the document. When the user positions the mouse over the <p> element in the document, a message will be displayed.

<pre IsFakePre="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">&lt;body&gt; &lt;p <strong>onmouseover</strong> = "DisplayMessage"&gt;Move the mouse over this paragraph to view a message.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/body&gt;</pre>

The following line of code sets the onmouseover attribute to the DisplayMessage procedure call. The index value zero (0) denotes the <p> tag as the only <p> element in the current page and the only <p> element in the all collection.

`

ActiveDocument.body.all.tags("p").item(0).onmouseover = "Display Message"
