   [web] Blinking Link Premature Mouseout Firing?
  Hello I am new to &#106avascript and I am trying to make a div area disappear on mouse over and reappear on mouse out. But for some reason it disappear and any slight movement ontop of the div causes it to reappear and whiling moving on the div it causing blinking (firing of the Mouseover/hide function and Mouseout/show function) So I simplified it to just a ahref tag the target goes really no where just so simplify my problem and see if anyone can figure out what is wrong I am all out of ideashttp://www.freewebs.com/supaflyfrank/index.htm   
  The problem is that the &#106avascript code is firing on mouseover and mouseout on the actual text line not a div area around the link, create a div area around the link give around 5px of slack and then set it up for that div area and not the anchor tag link. This will solve the problem beacuse the individual pixels around the link will not trigger a mouseout for the div area like it is doing for the anchor tag link based on text.   ;  Well, the reason it is blinking is that each time you hide it, you in fact fire an OnMouseOut event, which makes the link visible again, which fires an OnMouseOver event, and so on and so forth. You can "fix" this by doing the showing/hiding in a container, that is, something to this effect:<span onMouseOver="hide('doggy')" onMouseout="show('doggy')">  <a id="doggy" href="whatever.html">Hey Friend</a></span>jfl[edit] Damn!   ;  Excellent!!!   ;  Thank you both for your help. I will use the span tag it defintely fixed the problem.
