The submitted example demonstrates the problem. This example was tested wtith the M12 build on a Windows 98 machine. I've inserted a 'dump' statement in the event handler to show what transpires when the mouse is over the bold "Memebership" line. When it is moved over that line I get a slew of mouseovers occurring and I can't get any mouseout's which will cause the color to change back to "black" However if I change the line el.className = toWhat to the following: el.style.color = (evt.type == 'mouseover' ? 'red' : 'black'); everything seems to work well. In other words I get the mouseover and mouseout events occurring. What upsets me about this example is that it worked fine with the M11 build but somehow became broken with this build.

I am attaching even a more simplified example of the problem described here. The first item displays the problem but the second one does not. Basically when the mouse is over the colored text it should be underlined and then when the mouse mouse off of the item it should return to its normal display. The first example assigns the className attribute value directly and the second example just sets the style properties directly.

Probably related to bug 6316. It seems like state in the EventStateManager goes out of date if the style change results in recreation of frames.

Not working with 2/29/2000 build on WINNT.

I'll take a look at this

I've just attached another simple example that demonstrates this problem but uses an alert box rather than dump statements to output results. This was done because the M14 build doesn't show the "mozilla" window anymore. If you run the mouse over the first colored lettering and click on the button you only see a mouseover event occuring. Doing the same for the second colored lettering, shows both a mouseover and a mouseout event occurring.

Using build 2000040415, this bug seems to be fixed. I'm changing the className of a button via a mouseover event, and all seems to go well... where as using M14 it used to do weird stuff.

I agree, this seems fixed now.
